What happened to Action Adventure platform games?

examples- Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Sly, Rayman, Tak, Ape Escape...games like that. Am I missing the fact that these are for Sony only? I can't really remember about any really good ones on the original Xbox because I never owned the original Xbox but I had some of the greatest fun playing these kinds of adventure games collecting coins and upgrading my arsenal and all that jazz....Did this genre die or something because I can' t recall any games like these?

when done right they can be epic (uncharted 2), ratchet and clank, it seems most focus on fps, which to me are boring the hell outa me lately

The genre is pretty much dying out. All the good ones I can think of on the 360 are on XBLA. Cute characters hoping around just don't sell like they used to.vashkey

blinx the cat lol

trine is awesome but no offline co-op for brother or frineds that visit :(

sonic 4 is coming soon, something to look out for

developers are taking less and less chances these days and are looking to cash in on the shooting genre. The ps2 years were filled with all types game games that were very different and unique.Now game developed costs are on the rise and more and more risks are being taken in game development.

you can't blame them..they need profits from games to stay afloat.

What about Kameo Elements of Power? It's the only one that I can think of that hasn't been mentioned.
