My idea is that genre is defined by the core gameplay. The core of LBA is action-y stuff.

Don't forget Captain Blood, man. Even though they weren't Cryo then, the game is very cool and original.

Sun Jan 20 12:57:32 +0000 2013Saw The Impossible last night. @JonasKyratzes was right. Been a while since I've seen the movie so great technically and so poor in content.
Sun Jan 20 13:03:14 +0000 2013The effects, cinematography, editing and everything else is top notch, but it's all wasted/misused. Very strange. #TheImpossible
