Concepts

Achievements

Achievements are extra challenges added into video games that sometimes carry a point value or unlock bonus material, and are sometimes solely for bragging rights.
Ambush

When the Bad Guy(s) are lying in wait to attack the Good Guy(s), either as part of the game's plot or as a game mechanic.

Betrayal

Betrayal is when a person breaks the trust and faith that others have placed in them.
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.
Blunt Weapons

Bats, hammers, wrenches, maces, staves, or even brass knuckles. These are weapons intended for blunt trauma rather than cutting or slicing.
Book-like Menus

Games with menus that consist of a book like interface (atleast upon start up).
Boss Assistance

When the Bad Guy finds himself heavily outmatched, why not call for some backup to even the odds? Boss Assistants try to focus the player's attention away from their leader, and may even pose a threat in great numbers.
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.
Bosses

Character Screen

Games which feature characters who have an accessible character screen which might include their stats / abilites / inventory etc.
Charging Heavyweight Enemies

These big'uns would love to smash you into a pulp by charging full-speed in a perfectly straight line, but if you take two steps to the right you'll be safe and sound ... for a few seconds at least.
Classes

Classes are different archetypes and playstyles that players can choose to play their game with.
Collectibles

Collectibles are items such as coins, rings, gems, packages etc. that can be gathered, usually for some kind of reward, or sometimes to simply beat a level. Often (almost too often) the source of earning achievements and trophies on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Convict

A person serving time in prison or an escaped criminal on the run from the law.
Cooldowns

A simple mechanic used in many types of games, however is most notable in RPGs.
Crafting

Crafting allows players to create their own items with the correct ingredients. It is used mainly in MMOs and RPGs.
Credits Menu Option

Why wait until you've beaten the game to find out who made it? These games let you see the credits without ever having to play the game.
Customizable Characters

Some games let players customize their character (or characters). Degree of customization may vary, with some games simply allowing to choose between different types of clothes, while others provide more detailed tinkering of features such as the distance between a character's eyes or hair color.
Customization

Customization in games that allow users to change various parts of their equipment or moves to fit their gaming style.
Cutscene

A non-interactive sequence within a game most often used for plot advancement.
Damage Numbers
