You're pretty much correct on your assumption. Point and Click adventures like The Curse of Monkey Island and Grim Fandango are the superstars of the Adventure genre (despite not making it on this list...), but newer games like Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton (this one is an Adventure-Puzzle hybrid) have lead to a resnaissance in the genre.
Talk to Okr if you have any other questions about the Adventure genre. He is the master.
