Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
One of the most controversial aspects of video games are the amounts of virtual murders that can vary from over-the-top to uneasily realistic. These games become notorious when they are linked to a murder, usually a spree murder, by the person who plays them.
Video game controversy revolves mostly around the psychological effects that games with graphic violence or sexual content in them can have on players. Other sources of controversy can range from racism, sexism, politics, or religion.
The main line of distinction between victory or failure in video games, death is the process of a biological being ceasing to be alive.
Extreme violence pertains to excessive amounts of blood, gore, or violent acts. These include decapitation, mutilation, dismemberment, amputation, defenestration, disembowelment, torture and much more.
Genocide refers to killing on massive scale, often systematic and for political or religous reasons.
“Indie” or “independently developed” games are video games which are developed by a studio without the support of an external publisher.
A plot device where innocent characters are killed. Sometimes players forced to watch it happen and can do nothing to prevent it.
Islam is a monotheistic religion articulated by the Qur'an. A text considered by its adherents to be the word of God given to Muhammad, considered by the Muslims to be the last prophet of God.
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.
A way of attempting to control a population via media.
A weighty real-world issue that some games comment on, often through allegory. Unfortunately, other games can offend players in their depiction of different ethnicities, whether intentionally or not, thus becoming part of the issue themselves.
A gathering of people who believe in the same higher power(s), and follow the rules laid out by the mortals chosen to be their prophets. Video games generally try to shy away from negatively portraying real religions to avoid controversy, however they make ample use of fictional in-game religions.
A game perspective that views the action from above, commonly at a fixed position and/or rotation.
