Computer and Video Game Genres

[savage]

Hi all,
In general would you agree to the genre and sub-genres as detailed on Wikipedia @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_and_video_game_genres?

Looking for constructive feedback.

The best description of Computer Game Genres I've seen so far is in the book Gameplay and Design by Kevin Oxland (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gameplay-Design-Kevin-Oxland/dp/0321204670/sr=1-78/qid=1169659512/ref=sr_1_78/026-0752476-3146013?ie=UTF8&s=books)

He breaks each genre down and explains why some games fit in some genres and not in others.. there are a couple of games he places in other genres where on first thought it would appear they belong in another. I can't remember an example of the top of my head.
