Achievements are extra challenges added into video games that sometimes carry a point value or unlock bonus material, and are sometimes solely for bragging rights.
A game streaming service.
Comic book or manga characters who are also in video games. There are tons of games with superheros such as Batman and Spider-Man out there.
The concept of a game referencing another game through mockery, parody or even directly. A game reference to the same franchise does not count.
Video games that are based on comic books, manga and graphic novels.
A feature in some games on the GOG.com service. Unlocked only while using the GOG Galaxy client.
With the internet in full swing, some games reflect its leak into popular culture by making references to the World Wide Web.
These games are based off of established licenses, such as movies, comics, or TV shows. Examples are the James Bond 007 and Spider-Man franchises.
Poking fun at a specific existing work, whether a game, a movie, or something else, by imitating and exaggerating its characteristics. Some games use parody here and there, while others are entirely parodic.
While all games on PlayStation 3 (2009 onwards) and later consoles have trophies, only games deemed large enough get to have the coveted Platinum Trophy for earning every Trophy in the base game.
Trophies are an incentive-based system for the completion of various objective in PS3, Vita, and PS4 titles.
Referencing a TV show, celebrity, song, trend, historical event, etc. is one of the easiest ways to get a laugh. This can be either a throw-away gag, like the name of an achievement, or the main subject of the game.
RenderWare is an API and graphics rendering engine made by Criterion Games.
In-game jokes or Easter eggs involving references to characters or events from earlier in a game or the game's series.
Games whose main character is so egotistical that the whole game just HAS to be named after them.
