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.
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.
Alert

Alert is a state a game may enter after the player has been overtly detected by enemies, and often brings increased enemy opposition (in numbers, aggression, etc.) while a cooldown timer or meter appears by which the player can gauge the expiration of Alert.
Alternate Costumes

Characters either begin with multiple outfits, unlock them through play, or purchase them as in-game items. These costumes are sometimes integral to play.
Anti-Hero

A protagonist that lacks typical heroic qualities.
Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, commonly refers to the programmed behaviors of NPCs in a game, whether it's the fact that a soldier takes cover behind a wall in Gears of War, or that townspeople cheer upon your arrival to their village in Fable.
Boss Rush

When you fight all of the bosses of the game at once. Can either be an optional mode, or it can be forced on you at the end of the game (see: Viewtiful Joe, Mega Man, Gunstar Heroes, etc).
Bosses

Video game bosses are usually the main antagonist, and arch nemesis of the main protagonist. In most cases the end of a game is when the main character defeats the final boss.
Breakable Glass

Glass that can be broken and destroyed in real-time.
Breaking the Fourth Wall

In video games, breaking the fourth wall occurs when a game becomes aware of it is game-nature or when a character directly acknowledges you, the player.
Bullet Time

Bullet time is a gameplay mechanic that allows players to slow down time. Depending on the game itself, the player often slows down along with the world around them, however occasionally the player can simply move at normal speed while the game world continues to slow.
Call Sign

When characters largely go by code names or call signs to protect their identities during their missions. They are also adopted for conveniences sake.
Cat

Feline animals commonly kept as pets. There are many different breeds and varieties.
Checkpoints

A point within the game whereby the game saves its current state whether it be for the purpose of a more convenient respawn point or a gameplay design (such as in racing).
Chest-High Walls

Chest-High Walls appear regularly in video games, particularly in third-person-shooters with cover mechanics.
Codec

Codec is the communication system used by Snake in the Metal Gear series of games.
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.
Combat Dialogue

Hey, why are we fighting? Let's sit down and talk this thing out.
Concept Art

A page devoted to cataloguing and explaining appearances and the use of concept art in games.
Contextual Controller Rumble

Although force feedback is often used in games to indicate such commonalities as when a player character is taking damage or feeling weapon recoil, it is sometimes used in more creative ways, such as providing hints to finding an item or providing emphasis during an otherwise non-interactive cinematic sequence. These games feature more creative uses of rumble than the norm.
Cover System

A Cover System is a gameplay mechanic that specifically governs the player's ability to hide behind objects to avoid detection or enemy fire.
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.
Cutscene Pause

The ability to pause a story scene. This avoids missing plot points if you are interrupted or take a break, or let's you call someone to show off a game's FMV or real time animation.
Cybernetics

Mechanical upgrades to a character's weak biological flesh. A common concept in futuristic video games.
Cyberpunk

Cyberpunk is an aesthetic choice that is employed in many different media, it focuses on technology and how that technology encroaches on our natural, daily lives.
Cyborg

An organism consisting of both natural and artificial systems. Usually in the form of a human with artificial enhancements.
Cyborg Ninja

High-tech exoskeleton wearing, sword wielding warriors from the Metal Gear franchise. Several characters assume the identity of a Cyborg Ninja in the series.
Dark Past
