Just curious.
I often find that when I'm done playing a darker game like Doom 3, only something more upbeat and colorful will do. Likewise, I'll rarely (if ever) buy two shooters in a row, or two platformers. I'm always looking for something drastically different from the last game I played. In this way, I never get tired of one thing. I'll also buy a GCN game sometimes just because my last buy was on the Xbox, or vice versa.
Anyone go through the same process? What styles, themes, genres, etc. are on your list of alternatives? I generally keep racing, sports, stealth, and licensed games out of the equation, so that keeps the choice really simple.
