I agree, what I have been able to watch of him he is my favorite out of all of the Doctors. If I had to say my top three I would go with Troughton, Peter Davidson, and Jon Pertwee.
I liked War Games but I can understand why people would find it boring. It did drag a bit in the middle, but I loved how they forced him to become the Third Doctor.
In regards to Genesis of the Daleks, that might be my favorite serial from the original show.
