As the title suggests........for me it was Command & Conquer. That game really got me into the strategy genre. From there I went to the Civilization series, Age of Empires, Starcraft, Dynasty Warriors, etc.

Goldeneye got me into loving shooting games.

Mass Effect got me into games with any type of RPG elements.

Jade Empire (xbox) introduced me to action/rpg games. I enjoy games of this genre more now.

Tenchu got me into stealth action games and actually had such a big influence on me that I try to play a lot of action games stealthily, even when stealth is not really a part of the game.

I guess technically Zelda got me into it but it was Final Fantasy that got me to recognize the RPG as a genre and actively seek games like it.

COD WAW got me into FPS. I used to hate FPS games. Always thought they were best left on the PC.

Then I played WAW and now half my games are FPS. ALthough it doesn't help that probably half of the PS3's avialable library are FPS.

Final Fantasy 7 got me into RPGs. I can remember thinking what the hell is HP...lol. Now I love everything about RPGs.
