Concepts

60 FPS on Consoles

Theoretically, all PC games can run at a solid 60 frames per second and beyond. On consoles, this frame rate is a much rarer commodity, with many games targeting only 30, sometimes even struggling to keep up.
Anti-Gravity Racing

A futuristic way of racing where the race crafts hover over the ground and race at extreme high speeds.
Boost

Boost takes a game to a new level giving players a greater level of speed. This speed opens up new doors to sports games, driving games, and any game that can benefit from the reward of speed.
Cornering

The art of taking corners is an essential element for any good racing driver, and it is a technique that must be mastered in order to produce the fastest times on track.
Difficulty Level

Sometimes you want a challenge, sometimes you wanna coast.
E3 1998

The 1998 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) took place at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia on May 28-30.
Future Sport

In the future, sports will have robots. And blood.
Ghost Racer

A translucent "ghost" representation of a prior performance in a racing game.
Greatest Hits

Greatest hits (Also known by other names) are games that generally have sold very well and warrant a re-release some time later. These games are also generally given a special or dropped price.
Laps

A lap is one circuit around a race track. This is featured in many, but not all racing games.
Rock Music

A widely popular music style originating from a fusion of blues, rhythm and blues, soul, classical, country, and jazz. Includes sub-genres such as punk, heavy metal, synth-rock, and pop, among others.
Speed Boost

Temporarily makes your character or the world around you go faster, either by stepping on an object, activating a power or object, or by collecting a power up. There are many other ways in which a Speed boost can be used and it depends on the game.
Split-Screen Multiplayer

Sometimes, you want to want to play games with a real person who's sitting right next to you. These games have you covered.
The Future

What lies ahead, and is distant from the present.
Third-Person Perspective

The player character is seen at a distance from a number of different possible perspective angles. There is generally a movable camera but it can also be in a fixed position. It most commonly refers to a viewpoint behind the player character.
Time Trials

Players compete against the clock to secure the fastest time possible. This is often added to racing games for extra replay value and typically requires a higher degree of skill.
Vehicular Combat

Vehicular combat combines driving and combat to form a unique fast paced action game. Many games are purely vehicular combat based (e.g. Twisted Metal or Vigilante 8) or can contain have sections for such combat (e.g. Halo or Mass Effect).
Virtual Console

The Virtual Console is a platform service that first appeared on Nintendo's Wii and later on the 3DS and Wii U. Games from past consoles are emulated to run on the new hardware with the added benefits of system-level save states and other features.
