I don't agree with putting games like Mechwarrior to the simulation genre. Simulating robots have nothing to do with the game in general, the "mech" universe is more like a background to the story just like killing Aliens is in Duke Nukem or the reason you drive an F1 car in a race.
Looking at the Simulation section on the site, one game strike me immediatly. I have no idea whatsoever why Xwing would be put under the simulation genre, it's an action game. Yes, the game "simulate" flying in space in similar ways to other games like Elite, but the setting is set in a Star Wars universe and unless one wish to argue that simulating the Star Wars universe grant the game the title of a simulation game, the game is clearly an action game.
