I can't think of a single game that fits that exactly description, let alone an entire genre. What game is this page referring to? I think of action games as being a catch-all term for a number of genres that feature action, including FPS, some driving games (Burnout series), maaaaaybe fighting games like Soul Calibur and basically any game with fast-paced violence.

It seems to me that the very definition of action games goes against this article's classification of action-adventure games being a subgenre. Let's look at the criteria and use Resident Evil 4 (see action-adventure games page to validate it being of that genre) as a template.
As you can see, most of the criteria don't fit Resident Evil 4, a well known action-adventure game and as such I'd like to see this article stating that rather the opposite is true. I believe that there is a passage from the adventure game genre article that admits to the perception of adventure games as being a subgenre of action-adventure games. While they decry that argument, arguing toward adventure games being connected to Computer RPG's, the idea that action and adventure games are a subgenre of action-adventure games does exist.
The "Action Game" genre is not a genre at all. It is more of a loose description. As no-one can come up with a good set of criteria for an action game, it is subsequently difficult to classify any game under it, and we lose the entire genre aspect. This is opposed to the adventure genre, which while having a rather vague title, has a number of games that all follow similar lines and fill criteria. It was also kick-started by the game "Adventure", which helped define it. I do propose that we dissolve this page, but rather state that labeling a game as an "Action Game" is more of a buzz-word then a definition.
I'm looking through some Top-priority articles that happen to be Start-class, and this was the first Top article on the alphabetical list. So I'm going to provide some sites to use as references for experts on the subject to improve this article to above a pitiful Start-class.

The image File:Warsow-03.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

Upon stumbling across a sentence stating, essentially, how 3D action games in general suffer issues in control difficulty severe enough to negatively affect their market viability in relation to 2D action games, I had a chuckle. Turns out this obviously incorrect/outdated info is taken from a rather ancient article, and so I removed it, along with the accompanying image (seeing how it didn't really relate to the text in any kind of purposeful manner).

90% of the stealth games out there are basically shooters with heavy stealth elements. Nearly all of the MGS games can be finished without really making full use of the stealth elements and playing the game as a shooter, for example. Its not the ideal way, but it is possible. So I propose that Stealth be moved under the shooter subcatagory rather than under the generic action catagory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.209.209.129 ( talk) 18:37, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
