Arcade Gun Games have stolen the "Rail Shooter" title from it's correct genre classification imo (ie: Rebel Assault, Panzer Dragoon, Space Harrier, Star Fox, etc).  Games like HotD and Time Crisis weren't called rail shooters in the past, dunno why they are now?

Yeah, you're right, for some reason "light gun" games this generation have been called rail shooters, and many feel they have been abused of, so now a rail shooter is seen as a bad thing, as most gamers won't even remember what the genre can actually be like.
