its not really action adventure but Mod Nation Racers is really fun its almost the same as Mario Kart but you can make awesome custom tracks, people and karts.
If you haven't yet, definitely pick up God of War 3, it was amazing through and through. And if you enjoy the Final Fantasy series or games like it, the new FF is pretty epic as well. But my MAIN recommendation, *drum roll*, is Bioshock 2. I think I've played it about 50 times already, and STILL not bored with it. Even though I know the entire game including dialogue, chat, and videos like the back of my hand now. >.<
A different type of game that I enjoy is called LittleBigPlanet. I had my doubts before playing it but it turned out to be a worthwhile game.
Call of Duty and Prince of Persia the Sands of time, crysis are the best game of today's and you can enjoy these new and different games by purchasing them. These are so lovable games to enjoy.
