...which is ultimately even more pointless than joining the debate and will cause both sides to deride and mock you mercilessly.
No offense, Snarky, but that's not really helpful. Adventures are making a comeback and I've often, in the past, argued against specific genre labels, but have come to realise that in all honesty they are quite important when referring to game types. Sure the corners can be blurred, but words can be mixed too.
Having Metroid Prime listed as a first-person adventure game in Wiki would mean anyone looking up similar games based on genre definition would be getting misinformation about that genre.
Whether you or I or anyone else likes it isn't really the point. It's just keeping the centre clear even if the edges are fuzzy.
