I say let's not have gaming fans decide, lets have Naughty Dog, Sony and gaming media decide. Pretty much without exception (that I've seen) every gaming website (incl. this one) puts it in the action/adventure category. On PSN the Uncharted DLC is in the Action/Adventure category. Whereas Red Faction Guerilla and Socom are in the shooter category.
For me what makes Uncharted not a TPS is that the camera is free roaming, not over the shoulder, there isn't a targetting reticule permanently on screen, and there are lots of parts of levels and entire levels which do not involve shooting. Thats enough to put it firmly outside the official TPS category.
I don't class Mass Effect as TPS even though it's much closer gameplay wise (in missions) to being a TPS than Uncharted. So if ME isn't TPS then Uncharted can't be.
