However, platforming combined in another genre like action/adventure or even TF2, and you have yourself a hell of a time.
To me, genres are dying. Everything is cross-pollinating and I think thats the real reason why when we play a genre title, it feels so dated and one dimensional.

Funny you mentioned Mirror's Edge and cross pollinating because one of my gripes with Mirror's Edge was the hacked on combat system and the very wonky shooting aspects.
Granted this was only from the demo, but it isn't a pure platformer per say.
And sure folks will probably mention Madworld, but I also don't consider beat-em ups to be somethinfg you spend a ton of cash on. They are simple and fun, but really lack depth for the most part.
Also was thinking about MMORPG, not a genre I look down upon, but I think they should reconsider their pricing structure. It would be easier for me to spend 10-15 bucks a month on a game if I didn't have to spend the initial 50 or 60 bucks on it.
