A large omnivorous mammal that can be white, brown, or black. Despite their ferociousness, they are also associated with being soft and cuddly, as in teddy bears. Bears are also known to eat stairs. Scientists say that because "bears eat stairs" rhymes the bears are naturally inclined to do so.
Usually yellow and black striped, these flying, flower loving loving insects can come singly or in a swarm. A major producer of honey and stings.
Broken English is English with improper spelling, grammar, or syntax, and is most commonly found within older video games as a result of poor English localization.
An order of large reptiles that encompases the Alligator, Gharial, Caiman and Crocodile families. While dangerous on land, they're pure killing machines in the wet element.

Generally used to fool other characters or parties into thinking you're one of them or belong there for purposes of deception, spying, or accessing data.
An aquatic flying bird that is sometimes hunted. Ducks appear in numerous games, some named after them (Duck Hunt), and as part of the scenery of other games (Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal).
Ahh, eating... We can't live without it, and, apparently, neither can some characters. From snakes to dots, games have odd ways of dishing out their dishes.
A device used in many games with vast open worlds, to travel instantaneously from one place to another. It sometime appears in the form of an item or skill.
Freeware games are those which have their full versions legally free to download or otherwise obtain.
A frog is a small and usually green amphibian that can swim, hop, and ribbit. Sadly, most of them aren't princes.
Games with cartoony, colourful, happy art styles that involve a lot of bloodshed, violence and killing. Examples would be Castle Crashers, Team Fortress 2, Battlefield Heroes, Alien Hominid, Conker's Bad Fur Day...
“Indie” or “independently developed” games are video games which are developed by a studio without the support of an external publisher.
Infinite Pockets are a system of inventory often found in adventure games. The player character's pockets seem to be of an infinite size, capable of holding anything from peanuts, to garden rakes, to spare tires, yet none of this is reflected on the character.
One who invents, preferably stuff that no one have thought of before.
Usually found in adventure games, when players combine two or more items to create one or more new items.
The single most important thing in the world, love is a powerful story telling element that can connect characters or drive a story. There are many video game characters who have fallen in love with someone or something.
The concept of affecting the universe through supernatural methods, breaking the fundamental laws of science.
Marriage is when characters, typically a pair of them, are joined in loving (or not so loving) matrimony!
These games have an agenda - social, political, or otherwise. The message is hard to miss.
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!
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.
Optional conversation-based cutscenes that are unrelated to the main narrative. These conversations are often humorous or provide insight into the game's setting.
Characters that are overweight have more body fat than normal for their race, or at least look it. A character that is overweight may or may not have great strength.
A collection of anthropomorphic characters without pants, but with shirts or other tops. Does not include characters in dresses.
Poking fun at a specific existing work, whether a game, a movie, or something else, by imitating and exaggerating its characteristics. Some games use parody here and there, while others are entirely parodic.
Point and click is an interface featured in a specific kind of adventure game, where players click on objects and characters to interact with them.
A cutscene or conversation that appears after, or during, the credits -- usually as a means to deliver a cliffhanger and/or plot twist.
