The spiritual successor to the Infinity Engine. This 3D engine made its appearance in the Neverwinter Nights series, and provided a toolset along with multiplayer where players could be Dungeon Masters and make their own stories and play them out with friends.
Bosses are enemies that fight you at the end of a level or at a significant point in the story.
When the player's death is addressed and integrated in-game as a part of the player's continuing story. This often involves reincarnation of sorts, or the player continues by moving on to a different character.
Game mechanic that allows a player to respawn as long as at least one teammate is alive.
A fallen knightly champion (often a Paladin) who has returned as an undead. Not to be confused with Black Knight (though a character can certainly be both). Most commonly seen in High Fantasy roleplaying settings like Dungeons and Dragons and WarCraft.
A double jump is the ability to jump while already in mid-air to get some extra lift. In reality, double jumps are not possible and violate fundamental laws of physics.
Killing Two people in a certain amount of time. generally a close time frame. Found in many games but most commonly fps games. Often referred to as Sage-Killing (similair to Sage-Camping) after the player Sage320 who used to play Gunbound and receive many double kills.
Game Over originally appeared in pinball machines, and later, arcade machines. When players lose at a game, it is game over.
Most modern shooting games add the realistic touch of rendering shots to the cranium instantly fatal. Glorious for the shooter, kind of a bummer to the shootee.
Some game modes don't allow the player to respawn once killed, forcing them to think strategically and to try to stay alive.
Rather than spawning on the ground like usual, some games let you spawn in the air and parachute down into the battle.
Soulbinders are NPCs in EverQuest that will bind players to specific places so that, if the player dies, they will respawn at that location.
Sometimes, you want to play games with a real person who's sitting right next to you. These games have you covered.
A superhero is a fictional character of unprecedented physical prowess dedicated to acts of derring-do in the public interest.
Vehicular combat combines driving and combat to form a unique fast paced action game. Many games are purely vehicular combat based (e.g. Twisted Metal or Vigilante 8) or can contain have sections for such combat (e.g. Halo or Mass Effect).
