I find in FPS or the like, where truely good tunes are few and far between, its best to put some Trance, House or Techno on. Why? because 99% of FPS music seems to be emulating those genres (it fits them better than any other, due to its fast pace - though some Rock or Metal would probably fit the bill) and failing. Being half as good as what you can hear on the radio, I just listen to whatevers in my mp3 library.
With somthing like Final Fantasy, or many other RPGs (or strategy games), I rarely listen to anything else - the only exceptions are during leveling up (who wants to hear the same 10 seconds of the overworld theme followed by the battle theme 1001 times?)... for those I just listen to anything... the same as I would if I was just idling on my PC.
