What is your favorite type of Game?
What is your favorite type of Game?

And what would be the ultimate cross over game?

RTS-TBS
Adventure-RTS
Adventure-TBS
etc?

I think the best cross-over game would be a RPG-RTS-TBS hybrid.

TBS all the way. TBS/RTS is the way to go for cross-overs. Decision making turns, RT (but slow enough so that you can think) battles.

I actually don't really have a favorite type.

Anything from the following would be interesting to me:

TBS
RTS
Adventure
RPG

What I don't like are Racing Games and most other sports games (soccer, basketball, baseball, etc.)

I like quality games. I have enjoyed TBS, RTS, RPG, adventure, and sports games but I have also hated them. If they are good I will like.

RTS-RPG is probably the best cross over, imho.

TBS and RPG

To me, most RTS games seem to be different graphics/same game. However, there is the occasional RTS that does interest me. An example being Starfleet Command

I don't think I have any favourite genre of games. Some of the games I like include:

M.U.L.E. (cannot be classified so far)
Archon I & II (hybrid of turn-based strategy and real time arcade action)
UFO: Enemies Unknown (hybrid of real-time and turned based strategies)
Star Control II (hybrid of adventure and action - and I didn't like the action part)
Wizardry VI & VII, Bard's Tale I-III (pure turn based RPG)
SimCity (software toy)
Omega (ASCII based rogue-like game)
Civ, MoO, SMAC (turn based grand strategy)
Panzer General, Age of Wonders, Warlords I - III (turn based small scale strategy)
