Third-person view action-adventure games

Third-person action-adventure games is the niche genre where the popular Alone in the Dark series sits on its throne. Quite a few survival horror games took advantage of the 3D third-person perspective, but the genre is not limited to scary video games. Games like Outcast or Tomb Raider are usually action-oriented more than other action-adventures.
