Typically found in fighting games, combos are a series of strung-together moves.
A system that gives a game the technical capability to implement the effects of gore which include but are not limited to, dismemberment, charring, beheading and gibbing. Gore systems have progressed significantly over the years from enemies scattering into pixels to highly detailed body tearing.
A term that can be used to refer to RPGs that focus more on the action, or brawler action games which focus on hack & slash gameplay.
A real-time battle system used in Namco Bandai's Tales franchise.
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!
A game in which the player competes in several different real or invented sports events.
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.
Games that are arguably the most fun in a "party" scenario with multiple players in one room.
Also known as Family Fun Fitness, this peripheral is used for the NES for athletic games such as World Class Track Meet.
Quick Time Events show up in all sorts of games as an attempt to make cutscenes interactive. Press the buttons displayed on-screen before time runs out, or else.
Occasionally, when some nasty bugger decides to give you a big hug that just seems to last forever, you may want to politely decline by mashing or shaking whatever you are holding in your hands.
Spamming, in video games, refers to the rapid, repeated use of the same item or action. For instance, "grenade spamming" in COD4 is the act of a player throwing a large amount of grenades in succession into an area so that they may get a lucky kill or simply distract the enemy.
Games which are released to coincide with the Olympic Summer Games.
Many of the games released for the Nintendo Wii take 'advantage' of the controls available by forcing the player to shake or 'waggle' the Wii remote and/or nunchuck. Waggling generally does not require skill on the part of the player; only shaking movements.
Games released to coincide with the Winter Olympic Games
Zombies, more accurately called the walking dead, are reanimated corpses who feed on the living, and have become a ubiquitous video game enemy. They often move slowly, but can be deadly in large numbers, which is unfortunately how they tend to travel. Shotgun time!
