It seems an argument can be made for a lot of games which will never be reviewed on AGers. So Portal and LA Noire are adventure games despite the shooting, running and jumping, but what about Alice: Madness Returns? Lots of adventure and exploration there alongside the jumping and collecting. Dragon Age? Sure there's a bit of fighting but also lots of story, puzzles and exploration.

All these seem to fit in the definition of this site that "Adventure games are all about stories, exploring worlds and solving puzzles." Shouldn't fighting and role-playing be allowed to take a more prominent role in adventure games?
