The debate is almost never whether adding action is an "evolution" of adventure games. That's actually the argument that purists FEAR, even though it's rarely suggested.

I think most "pure" adventures are hurt more than they're helped by adding random action elements, so if that's the standard, better to avoid them.

On the other hand, I thoroughly enjoy action-adventures. I also absolutely think there's room in the genre for more "action-based" gameplay if its storyline dictates it.

It's all about diversity in design, baby. 8-)
