TBS: Hedgewars too!
RTS: it's an alpha but 0.a.d.
FPS: Xonotic of course because the community is better than Warsow
Racing: STK in my heart (I was an active contributor)
Rogue: I don't really play this type of games, but i'd love to test the FLARE release (it's a little bit a roguelike).
Shmup: Kobo Deluxe, i'm an addict!
Platformer: SuperTux 2
RPG: FreeDink
MMORPG: Ryzom

@monkat: open source thread so: And Yet it Moves and dungeons of dredmor are bannish!
