How would you classify Tomb Raider then? Crime? Is it a crime to kill bears and dinasaurs? :P

I agree that these terms can mean many things, specially "action". But if we define them properly, it may work.

I would classify Tomb Raider as (ancient) Mythology as a theme/universe. However time set is present day and that makes it a little confusing.
Uncharted would also be classified as (ancient) Mythology.

This classification for these two games sounds weird. Very weird!

I would define adventure as a series of events that happen in a context far from our normal daily lives, but which don't involve much interaction with other people (otherwise, it would be crime/war/horror). Tomb Raider, Uncharted and Crash Bandicoot all seem to fit in this definition, and I think they really share the same theme. Of course the latter is fictional, while the first two are more realistic, but that's another dimension.
