Action/Adventure games tell stories through excellent cinematics and have epic scripted moments, deep combat, and usually beautiful visuals.

God of War III

God of War III defines the genre that tells us there are no limits or boundaries and it really shows here. With superb combat, epic boss fights, and gruesome gore that would make even the strongest squirm you have to love this game. It perfects the series and really shows what the next-generation is all about.
