Simple question.  Out of the games you've played for this gen of consoles, which genre has taken up the most of your time.

For me it has been action/adventure.  Yes I realize that's kind of the "other" genre but from Uncharted to Infamous to Batman to Deus Ex to MGS4 (and the HD collection) to GTA4 to Red Dead Redemption to Assassin's Creed to Heavy Rain I have devoted a lot of time this gen to that genre.  A close second would be platformers with Ratchet, Mario, Zelda, LBP, Rayman, and the HD collections of Sly, Jak, and Okami.  This has been my favorite gen so far (only been gaming since PSone) and I look forward to enjoying some more amazing games in these genres such as Sly 4 (long time coming), Tomb Raider, LoU, Beyond, Puppeteer, and GTA5.

I thought Zelda was action/adventure?

eh I've seen it categorized as both.  There is platforming to be sure but also a lot of combat and puzzle solving I guess.  Could be either.

I haven't heard anyone calling Zelda a platformer...I heard people calling it a RPG but definitely not a platformer.

how is it an RPG you don't level up.  You could call GoW an RPG if getting new items categorizes it as that.  Then again you could categorize GoW as a platformer since if you consider Zelda one.  Who the hell knows Zelda can be anything other than a shooter (although there is that sling shot...) or strategy
