Concepts

2D

Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
Blood

Necessary to sustain life in organic creatures, the crimson fluid known as blood tends to make appearances when the body's structure is compromised in some way, a very, very common occurrence in videogames.
Cameo Appearance

When a character from an existing media franchise makes a brief appearance in a video game, sometimes without even openly acknowledging their origins.
Detective

Someone who investigates and solves crimes.
Disguise

Generally used to fool other characters or parties into thinking you're one of them or belong there for purposes of deception, spying, or accessing data.
DS Microphone Use

DS games that feature gameplay elements requiring the player to speak or blow into the handheld's built-in microphone.
E3 2009

The 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California on June 2-4.
Evidence

Items that prove innocence or guilt.
Evil Old White Guy

A concept that has been popularized since the days of the European colonial empires. The main bad guy is seemingly old, white, although not always human.
Fan Service

See? The exploiting, soulless people who run the video game industry DO care about their fans!
Flashback

Flashbacks take a player into a flashback sequence. Often playable, but not always.
Footprints

Footprints are visible marks left behind by a character walking.
Forensics

Short for forensic science. Refers to the use of scientific methodology when solving a crime. Often involves carefully gathering evidence at the scene of a crime and analyzing the evidence in a laboratory setting.
Framing

A frameup, or framing, is when someone tries to convince people someone else committed a crime. It could be in the form of leaving false clues or giving out false information.
Gal Friday

A particularly faithful female assistant, especially in noir stories. They typically aide the protagonist in a wide variety of ways, while at the same time occasionally serving up some sass to keep their bosses in check.
Game Over

Game Over originally appeared in pinball machines, and later, arcade machines. When you lose at a game, it is game over.
Gamescom 2009

Gamescom 2009 was a video game convention that took place in Cologne, Germany from August 19 - August 23, 2009.
Gibberish

In some video games, when some characters talk, what they say has absolutely no meaning, at least to the player. Whether it has any meaning to the character speaking is another matter entirely.
Important Text

The best way to make sure even the stupidest players know that certain people, places, terms, or concepts in a game are important is to highlight those words in the text with different coloured letters, or through the use of bold, italicized, or all-caps text.
Internet Culture Reference

With the internet in full swing, some games reflect its leak into popular culture by making references to the World Wide Web.
Kidnapping

Kidnapping is often used in videogames as a motivation for the protagonist to venture into unknown worlds and fight seemingly hopeless battles.
Law

Law is a rule or a system of rules, usually enforced through a set of institutions, applied to govern a group.
Linear Gameplay

The opposite of open-ended gameplay, linear gameplay uses scripted events, Quick time events, cut scenes, and a restricted path to tell a story exactly how the writer intends, and control elements of the action.
Multiple Characters on Box Art

Two or more characters are featured on the game's box art.
Murder

Murder is the act of ending the life of another living thing against its will without the sanction of a higher governmental authority, such as the casualties that result from acts of war. It is generally intentional, at least in a legal meaning, but not necessarily.
Not-So-Bad Guys

Characters that are initially portrayed as evil, but eventually turn out to be good or not as serious of a threat. This also includes villains who remain evil the entire game, but contain some sense of moral goodness or ambiguity.
Optional Touch Control

Sometimes you just don't want to pull out your stylus or get fingerprints on your DS screen. These games don't make you.
Partners

A partner is someone in a duo that shares the same status and/or billing. In video games, you often switch from one to the other because they have different strengths and weaknesses.
Police

Police are paid protectors who enforce the law through legal use of force. They help ensure public safety and social order. Their motto is to protect and to serve.
Ransom

The act of holding an item or person against their will in exchange for financial or material payment.
