Concepts

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.
Blood Splatter

When blood will splash textures on walls or floors and even roofs.
Boss Fight

A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
Comic Relief

The comic relief is a character other than the main character who is meant to add humor and lighten the mood of the game. These characters are usually very dumb or very witty, and are always very talkative.
Death

The main line of distinction between victory or failure in video games, death is the process of a biological being ceasing to be alive.
Decapitation

Decapitation is the removal of the head of a person or animal.
Demon

Demons are generally creatures of evil, usually from Hell, who are often totally untrustworthy even when they're not murdering everyone and destroying everything in their path.
Demon Invasion

Given that Hell totally sucks, it's not surprising that Demons are semi-constantly trying to get from there to Earth.
Dismemberment

The severing of limbs is a good way for designers to make every battle a bloodier, gorier mess. Or sillier in the right situations.
E3 2002

The 2002 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California on May 22-24.
Escaping Imprisonment

When the main character at some point has to escape from a confined area, be it a dungeon, a prison cell or a penal colony.
Extreme Violence

Extreme violence pertains to excessive amounts of blood, gore, or violent acts. These include decapitation, mutilation, dismemberment, amputation, defenestration, disembowelment, torture and much more. Chainsaws usually produce the best excessive violence, while guns simply provide more blood spray.
Games Based on Movies

Whenever there's a new Pixar, superhero or Harry Potter movie they have to make one of these.
Hack and Slash

A term previously used to refer to RPGs that focus more on the action, today it more often refers to action games which focus on hack & slash gameplay.
Heads Up Display

A heads-up display is a graphical overlay of vital information used in most modern games.
Headshot

Most modern shooting games add the realistic touch of rendering shots to the cranium instantly fatal. Glorious for the shooter, kind of a bummer to the shootee.
Health

Health is a value that gauges how much damage players can take in a game before they die or pass out. Also known as life in some games. Health is usually represented by a bar or a percentage instead of an exact amount. Found in most non sport games
Idle Animations

An Iconic concept of video games is the use of an idle animation for the players character, when during gameplay there's no control given. It's an example of emergent game design, and is used as a way to add depth to action characters.
Jump

It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto building, onto platforms, or onto skulls, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
Magic

The concept of affecting the universe through supernatural methods, breaking the fundamental laws of science.
Magic Meter

The meter which is used to tell how much power you have left to use magic abilities.
Melee

From Beat-em-ups to fighting games to modern FPS, one dude hitting another has made an enjoyable pastime.
Mutants

Nuclear war, frivolous dumping of toxic waste,forced evolutionary virus; sometimes these things go horribly awry. These games all feature some variety of mutant life, formerly human or otherwise, and it's generally not a good idea to trust them.
Pick Ups

Anything that can be picked up and used temporarly. Basically any item that is optional but can be used to an advantage.
Portals

A portal is a hole in reality connected to another hole in reality, whether magical or scientific in nature, that allows a person to instantly travel incredibly vast distances simply by walking through one.
Puzzles

Puzzles may need to be solved before the player can progress to the next section of the game. Often it may not be clear to players exactly what the puzzle is, or whether the an in-game items needs to be attained before it is even possible to solve it.
Survival

Survival is the name of the game. Eat or be eaten. Kill or be killed
Time Travel

The concept of a character leaping forwards or backwards in time.
Ultimate Weapon

There is always one. The huge gun found near the end of the game that kills everything in one hit but contains nearly no ammunition. It can also be the last weapon in an RPG game that does drastically increased damage compared to previous weapons.
Undead

The Undead is an umbrella term describing creatures that do not exhibit the key fundamental attributes that are associated with life, such as respiration, and blood circulation. They are divided into two main categories: Ethereal and Corporeal, depending on whether or not they have a body.
