This makes me very sad because graphic adventure is my favorite genre of video games.
what do anyone else thinks?
I think it's a load of BS
The guy who wrote the article didn't do a lot of research.
Adventure games have simply developed a bit. Sometimes they cross over a bit and become more RPG-like, like the awesome Shenmue (Dreamcast) and Shenmue II (Dreamcast/Xbox). Oh, and the title someone couldn't remember was probably the Broken Sword-series.
For people looking for oldskool action (shooters etc.) I recommend picking up a Dreamcast and games like Gigawing 1+2, Mars Matrix etc. - that console had more awesome arcade games than any other console.
