yea, those games would all fall under that category. I don't know if I agree that Action/Adventure is > everything though.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I don't see any rules, so I'm assuming this is this gens game collection only?

What are your classification differences between Action Adventure and Adventure and Action?

What are your classification differences between Shooter and FPS?

What are your classification differences between Action RPG and RPG?

Shouldnt you just use the industry standard classifications?

industry standard? I didn't know one existed. Seems like every website has a slightly different set of genres in their database. Heck, IGN has every genre I listed except FPS.

Shooter = Contra, Geometry Wars...
FPS = Killzone, Call of Duty, Halo...

Action RPG = Tales of Symphonia, Secret of Mana...
RPG = Final Fantasy XIII, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
(I could have included WRPG, sort of like Oblivion, but I don't happen to own any games like that.)

Action/Adventure = Zelda, Uncharted...
Adventure = Trace Memory, Agatha Christie...
