It's easy to lose oneself in the heat of battle. Luckily, some games will alert the player as to when they are close to death.
They may be good or evil, but mad scientists are always performing experiments that are on the outer fringes of science. Ever since Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, they've been in the scene.
The concept of affecting the universe through supernatural methods, breaking the fundamental laws of science.
This concept is for games in which at least one of the main characters is male.
A game where you eventually receive a map of an area. Like in Metroid Prime you have map download stations to get a map outline of the area. This is the same concept in the exploring Castlevania games.

From Beat-em-ups to fighting games to modern FPS, one dude hitting another has made an enjoyable pastime.
Somebody wrote or drew a message on the wall, maybe it was in blood, maybe they had a marker handy; but now here you are, reading it.

An opponent that typically appears around the halfway point in a level. Mini-Bosses are more formidable than the average opponent, though normally not as tough as the end-level Boss.
These are often a departure from the conventional gameplay of a game. There have also been compilations; games including only minigames. The Mario Party series has a lot of minigames, too!
When an achievement is only attainable at a single point in a game, it is considered a missable achievement. If a player has missed such an achievement, then he must replay the entire game in order to get it.
When monsters in a game can turn on each other after an accidental injury and fight to the death instead of focusing on the player, or when some of the player's enemies also hate each other, and will attack each other on sight.
Moral dilemmas presented to the player that often have a significant effect on the story or other characters.

A boss fight in which the player must not only battle the actual boss, but must also defeat or defend against auxiliary enemies.

A narcissist is a person that is obsessed with one's own looks or who has an egomaniacal sense of self-importance.
Sequels that have the player controlling a different character than the preceding game(s).
Characters controlled by the game for players to interact with, as opposed to player characters which are controlled by whomever is playing the game.
Normal mapping is an integral part in making believable visuals. Using advanced surface information in conjunction with light information, an artist is able to define an incredible amount of detail on any low polygon model.
A belief in ration self interest. In other words, a neutral stance despite one's beliefs.
Aquatic creatures with eight tentacles covered with suction cups. They often appear as boss enemies.
