Concepts

Abstract Art Style

Games that are very graphically abstract, and don't strive to be realistic.
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.
Air Strike

Common in modern war video games, air strikes are usually used to take out big targets such as enemy vehicles or buildings. Laser designators are often used by the player to illuminate the target for a massive aerial attack. Bombs away!
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.
Centipede

Centipedes are arthropods with one pair of legs per body segment. Contrary to popular belief, if the head is cut off, a new head doesn't grow.
Darwinians

The race of AI creatures that populate the gameworld in Darwinia. They may be visually simplistic, but they exhibit varying personalities and are intelligent and self-aware, and have created a rich culture for themselves.
Deliberately Retro

Sometimes designers add old-school things on purpose to enhance game design.
Digital Distribution

Digital Distribution is the concept of purchasing digital media via the internet and having it sent to the user directly via the internet. No physical representation of this content is given but the content resides on the users hard drive and is legally owned by them.
GOG.com

GOG is an online Digital Distribution platform that focuses on providing DRM-free games, both old and new.
Humble Bundle

An ongoing series of charity sales where consumers pay whatever amount they want for a bundle of games, often from indie developers.
Indie

“Indie” or “independently developed” games are video games which are developed by a studio without the support of an external publisher.
King of the Hill

King of the Hill is a popular game mode where the players have to stay in a designated area of a map to gain points. This mode is becoming increasingly popular in shooters.
Mad Scientist

They may be good or evil, but mad scientists are always performing experiments that are on the outer fringes of science. Ever since Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, they've been in the scene.
Objective-Based Team Gameplay

Objective-based team gameplay occurs when one group attempts to accomplish some goal -- enter a base, capture or destroy some MacGuffin, rescue the hostages -- while the other tries to prevent it.
Online

Also, games with technology or culture that would be considered outdated by the time the game takes place.
Squad

A squad is a group of military personnel who work together as a group. Popular in both single-player and multiplayer games, the other players within the squad can be either AI or other people.

Originally created to distribute its own games, Steam has since expanded to become the de facto standard for digital distribution of PC games, and supports community features, downloadable content and achievements.
