Action/adventure games were always my favourite growing up, other than platformers, because they're thrilling and I always play my best when I have the chance to dodge and block.

God of War is probably my favourite action/adventure game series because Kratos is just pure beast, I mean he ends up pretty much destroying the world he's so bad-ass! Other than that there's the Devil May Cry series, Primal(don't know if anyone's heard of this one), Legacy of Kain series, Metal Gear Solid, Dynasty&Samurai Warriors, there's many more but they escape my memory unfortunately.
