Survival horror/action game genre?

I think survival horror is as close as you can get to what it is, but it's entirely story based, not action based.

It's a puzzle solving survival horror game.

Id say that RE is more of an action/adventure game these days

It really isn't. Sure, they've made it a bit more action oriented as the times progress, but they've kept the thrill of the original games.

It isn't totally action, there's still backtracking and puzzles, you can't aim and move, and there's still a lot of strategy involved in killing an enemy rather than just emptying your ammo into him.

It isn't totally action, in fact. I think if we all took a look back into RE's previous games, everything leading up to RE4, we will see that they aren't that different...it's okay guys, RE4 & RE5 aren't leppers, we can play with them.

I loved the nostalgic mansion. That's basically my 'new' name for it.

LiN was a lot more like RE5 could've been and probably should have been.

But in some ways it's better that they gave it to us like this, as a teaser for what could happen with future games.
