Broken English is English with improper spelling, grammar, or syntax, and is most commonly found within older video games as a result of poor English localization.
These games let players see the credits without needing to play the game first.
Darkness is used in games to restrict access, increase tension, or just to set a mood. Often the player has access to a light source that can mitigate its effect.
Endurance racing is racing a track for very long periods of time. An example of endurance racing in video games would be the 24 hour Le Mans in GRID.
A ship or object travels faster than the speed of light to reach distant locations. An example is the Mass Relay system in Mass Effect.
A glitch is an action performed within the bounds of a game engine that was not intended by the game's developers. Glitches are often performed by the player, though they can also occur independently.
A heads-up display is a graphical overlay of vital information used in most modern games.
Loading Screens are specific screens that are displayed while a game is loading resources so that the player has something to distract them while the game loads. Loading Screens can be images, text or even mini-games - and sometimes a combination of all three.
"YOU'RE WINNER!"
When the artwork on the game's box in no way correlates to the game's actual look and feel.
A feature (or features) is advertised on the box or in the game manual, but due to the game being rushed or not tested the feature is not there. Fixed with patches or DLC in newer games.
A common type of bug where players can leave the intended confines of the game world or map. Exploited in many multiplayer games for easy kills.
Third-party developers and publishers occasionally engage in the practice of releasing a title or piece of DLC on only one platform for any number of reasons. Sometimes these are permanent while others are only platform exclusive for a certain window of time.
Who needs 2D when we've got 3D? 3D, or 3 dimensions, is what we're used to seeing in almost every game these days, letting us do all sorts of awesome stuff like run in circles!
*Cue country music*
