Should Game Genre Types Be Capitalised?
I am currently writing a report for college about computer games and I am wondering whether genres need to be capitalised. Usually I do not but for some reason it just feels that I should.
For example:
"The game is in the adventure genre."
or
"The game is in the Adventure genre."
I am tempted to go with the latter because it is the name of a genre and names need to be capitalised.
Thank you,
Shane

It's not a proper adjective, and therefore should not be capitalized. The name "adventure" is generic. It's not like saying "This game is in the Zork genre," referring to a particular early game.

Definitely - not. (With exception: when it will be common to write "Thriller", "Romance" or "Historical".)
