Extraterrestrials appear in many video games in a variety of styles. Sometimes they're evil, sometimes they're benevolent, and sometimes they're very similar to humans.
A foreign language natively spoken by extraterrestrial biengs from another planet or galaxy
A pseudo-race of humanoids, infected and transformed by cybernetic implants into mechanical zombies controlled by a Collective intelligence that seeks to absorb all life into itself.
A gameplay mode that pits two or more players in a fight to the death. John Romero is credited with coining the multiplayer term "deathmatch."
The ability for players to manipulate objects in the environment and use them as weapons. An example of this gameplay mechanic is Half-Life 2, in which players make use of a Gravity Gun to launch objects with deadly force.
A theme used very often in fantasy and sci-fi settings is that of a brutal, totalitarian empire or kingdom whose armies oppress the common people. Evil Empires appear under many names in various game worlds, including simply "The Empire".
A fictional language and/or script created exclusively for the world in which a game is set, such as Tolkien's Elvish or the language of the Talan in Outcast.
A fleet is a group of ships, typically military warships, that sail together for mutual protection and to consolidate their power.
"Hand to hand. It is the basis of all combat." -Gray Fox
Elite warriors primarily tasked with protecting vips in Klingon society.
These games are based off of established licenses, such as movies, comics, or TV shows. Examples are the James Bond 007 and Spider-Man franchises.
Armed forces. The arm of government that deals with fighting wars and protecting a nation from external or internal threats
Two or more factions, either with the same or completely different goals, that constantly try to one-up each other. The player is sometimes forced to pick a side to root or work for during the struggle. Other times the rivalry is only mentioned in the plot.
An intimate physical activity between two or more individuals.
Strength beyond normal human bounds, i.e. lifting cars, bending metals, shattering a street with one's fist.
A superweapon is a structure or character with amazing powers and amazing costs. This weapon can turn the battle to its owner's side single-handedly, but is usually the most expensive and time consuming to construct.
In the Star Trek universe, a group of spacefaring species joined together as one in the United Federation of Planets (UFP) to explore the universe in peace. Their member species include: Andorians, Humans, Tellerites, and Vulcans.
