I would say action-adventure. It's an amorphous, hard-to-define genre, but to me it encompasses many of the great series and games of the last 30 years. It combines all the fast-faced, frenetic combat and movement of action games with the more thoughtful and mentally challenging puzzles of adventure games. So it's rewarding on a visceral level and on an intellectual level.

Even games that aren't strictly action-adventure games often benefit from the addition of action-adventure elements.
