    ACTION/ADVENTURE

    This thread is dedicated to Action/Adventure game of the year games. This genre is games like Prince of Persia, Mirrors Edge, Saints Row 2, Grand Theft Auto IV. It's the games that either, feature a 3rd Person sandbox game, or a game that generally is accepted not to have firearms. A game can be Action/Adventure if it doesn't contain those qualities, just by how it's designed. It's very precise on how to decide, but it's obvious when you see it.(Mirrors Edge contains achievements on not using weapons.)

    So Forgehub, here is your chance to nominate your favorite Action/Adventure games from the year 2008. Once I see a nomination I will add it to this thread. I will not count votes yet. This is a nomination thread.

    Nominations:
    -Dead Space
    -No More Heroes
    -LEGO Indiana Jones
    -Prince of Persia
    -FarCry 2
    -Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
    -Viking: Battle for Asgard
    -Grand Theft Auto: IV
    -Saints Row 2
    -Fallout 3
    -The Bourne Conspiracy
    -Lost Planet: Colonies
    -Super Smash Brothers: Brawl
    -Devil May Cry 4

    No i don't.
    Also, action adventure has guns, and it doesn't have to be sandbox. A perfect example would be Uncharted: Drakes Fortune.

    It is actually considered an Action/Adventure game. It will be added. There is nothing against adding games to more than one category, especially if they fit in more than one.

    That should go under shooter, its just a straight up shooter, nothing else really. I might be wrong though.

    Actually, it is an adventure. You go where you want, kill who you want, and play the missions that you want.

    ...Lego Indiana Jones?
    Okay, I know it wasn't amazing/revolutionary in graphics of anything, but it was so damn fun!
    Tons of secrets with benefits to keep you interested, and it was definately action/adventure, like the movies.

    It says its a shooter, but that doesn't mean it can't be more than one genre.
