And you were proven wrong about text adventures being video games, remember that? I brought up the whole choose-you-own-adventure example and you finally admitted some amount of defeat, as much as your ego would allow.
If you can call RE a graphic adventure game then I can call OoT a horse-racing game because you ride around on a horse, KOTOR a dating sim because depending on your actions you can get it on with a character in the game, and Rainbow Six 3 a chatting sim because you talk to your teammates. All games have a little something from a different genre. RE is all about surviving with little ammo and health. There are some really shitty puzzles thrown in to make it tougher, but that certainly does not make it a graphic adventure game.
