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.
Artificial life-forms ("robots") specifically designed to mimic the appearance of human beings. Although this is a male-specific term, with female-looking machines actually being "gynoids", the term "android" is generally used universally in video games.
Body armor in games acts as additional protection. In most cases, when a player takes damage that would completely affect their health, their body armor reduces the damage taken or takes the damage instead.
Bosses are enemies that fight you at the end of a level or at a significant point in the story.
Using the Red Cross in an entertainment product is expressly forbidden by the Geneva Convention and international law, however some games don't realise that.
The ability for a player to control the motion and direction of the in-game camera.
Computer games that recommend players use a controller, rather than a keyboard and mouse. These are most often side-scrolling platformers and action games.
These games let players see the credits without needing to play the game first.
The concept of purchasing media and having it delivered over the internet. No physical representation of this content is given, and although the content resides on the user's hard drive they are typically granted a license to the product, rather than ownership of it.
When a song is played over the end-credits, often by a famous artist.
While most game currencies resemble real-life currencies or fantasy equivalents, some games re-frame entirely mundane objects as vital economic components.
This concept is for games where at least one of the main characters is female.
A staple in both the real-time and turn-based strategy genres, Fog of War simulates the unknowns of the battlefield by covering areas of the map, to be progressively revealed by the player.
This page is titles that allow you to manually reconfigure the control scheme. A title that only lets you swap/invert sticks, adjust stick sensitivity, or limits you to preset configurations, does not qualify for this list.
The concept of a game referencing another game through mockery, parody or even directly. A game reference to the same franchise does not count.
When a character's spoken voice consists entirely of grunts or simple expressions of emotion, even if the character is able to say a lot more through text-based dialogue.
A gynoid, or fembot, is a feminine humanoid robot.
HUD elements, such as health or ammunition, which appear physically on the player characters outfit, objects, equipment and weapons.
A digital storefront which donates some of its profits to charity.
Games with language selection allow the player to choose which language is displayed or spoken in the game.
Games that have been developed to play on all Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 2DS models but benefit from enhancements when played on a New Nintendo 3DS (XL) or New Nintendo 2DS XL.
Options menus give you the option to change anything the game lets you change. Whether you want subtitles or not, sound effects or not, the game to be harder or not, anything you want that the game lets you change, you can change in the options menu.

Referencing a TV show, celebrity, song, trend, historical event, etc. is one of the easiest ways to get a laugh. This can be either a throw-away gag, like the name of an achievement, or the main subject of the game.
The rare occurrence of a game being released between Christmas and New Year's Day.
Any projectile that bounces off a surface upon impact.
