I mostly have problems between Action and Action-Adventure games. The ones I'm thinking of putting in these categories are :

- Zelda: Twilight Princess
- Zelda: Skyward Sword
- Metroid Prime 3
- Resident Evil 4
- Disney's Epic Mickey
- Metroid: Other M
- Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
- Super Paper Mario

There's also The Godfather: Blackhand Edition that I have no idea where to put (since it's a sandbox game)

Also, I'm confused by the Shooting/Flight category. Are you talking about FPS, TPS and Flight simulators here?

if I would categorize them, I would do the following:

- Zelda: Twilight Princess (Action-Adventure)
- Zelda: Skyward Sword (Action-Adventure)
- Metroid Prime 3 (Action-Adventure, although in first person)
- Resident Evil 4 (Action-Adventure, although with heavy TPS influence. I'd say RE5 and 6 would be more shooters than Action Adventures though)
- Disney's Epic Mickey (Action Adventure, with some Platforming)
- Metroid: Other M (Could go either way between Action and Action-Adventure)
- Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (Shooter)
- Super Paper Mario (Platformer with some RPG elements)

The Godfather: Blackhand Edition (Action)

"Also, I'm confused by the Shooting/Flight category. Are you talking about FPS, TPS and Flight simulators here?" Yessir!

Here's something to think about when trying to decide on whether a game's Action or Action-Adventure: Is the game more focused on the adventure and exploration (Like Zelda, Okami, or Epic Mickey), or is it more concerned with the combat (No More Heroes, MadWorld, Godfather)?
