Surprisingly, non-linear RPGs are called non-linear RPGs and linear RPGs are called linear RPGs. Whether you view the latter as REAL RPGs or not is up to you, but the general definiton includes both regardless of that.

As for these recent RPGs being more like hack-and-slash action games than RPGs... I'd have to agree they've gone more into that direction, but still, there's so much role playing elements in them just calling them hack-and-slash action games isn't right. They're both. Hack-and-slash RPGs!
