First Person Shooter
(FPS)
The stories in FPS's are usually delivered by the characters talking directly to the player/player's character, with you experiencing the cut-scenes in first person (e.g. Call of Duty).
The first person perspective makes this much more personal and gets the player involved as they see the game's story from the character's eyes.

Third Person Shooter
(TPS)
The stories in TPS's are usually delivered by characters conversing with each other, with you watching the characters during cut-scenes (e.g. Gears of War).
While not as personal as first person, third person allows you to watch your character, allowing them to have much more of a unique personality.

Role-playing Game (RPG)
The stories in RPGs are usually delivered through conversing with the variety of characters, with any actions you take potentially altering the course the entire story will take. They also sometimes have lore scattered around (like the Elder-scrolls series).
Due to the fact that your choices can alter the story of RPGs, it makes the whole experience much more interactive, allowing you to tweak the story to how you want it to be.

(the genres from this point on tend to be lighter on the story than those above)
Fighting
The stories in fighting games are usually either some kind of tournament (like Dead or Alive) or some bad-guys have killed/kidnapped someone/done something else bad and the protagonist is out for revenge/to rescue the kidnapped person/stop them (Like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle games).

Sport
The stories in sport games are usually a newbie wanting to climb the ranks and become the best or a retired pro getting back into it. Or just a person scoring points (like the tony hawk games).

Strategy
The stories in strategy games are usually told by some high ranking military members talking about the missions and what is going on (like the C&C games).
This sometimes has the effect of making you feel like one of those high ranking military members by having the characters talk to you and give you orders.

There are rarely any stories for simulation games beyond what your job is such as train driver, pilot, farmer, mayor, etc. (like the Sim City games).
Occasionally with certain simulation games (like the sims) you can make up your own story and get creative with it.
