Platformer Games
Platformer games have come a long way since the earliest Mario Bros. 
or the arcade Pac-mans --not to say those weren't awesome. These types of games, characterized by jumping to and from platforms, have sustained a loyal following throughout video game evolution--and with those cool graphics and scores it's really no surprise. Innovative developers keep our focus with experimental cross breeds that fall into the category of sub-genres.
