There are good agents, like Elite Beat Agents and bad agents, like Agent Smith.
A large omnivorous mammal that can be white, brown, or black. Despite their ferociousness, they are also associated with being soft and cuddly, as in teddy bears. Bears are also known to eat stairs. Scientists say that because "bears eat stairs" rhymes the bears are naturally inclined to do so.
Games that let you choose the path you take through the story-line.
The act of high-speed vehicular pursuit. Often this occurs in racing games or games where players must evade police.
Characters who speak with a Chinese (or similar) accent.
Games that are little more than extensive cinematic sequences in which the player has little interaction with what is happening onscreen. This notion of a cinematic game is epitomized by laserdisc arcade classics such as Astron Belt, Dragon's Lair and Bega's Battle.
Generally used to fool other characters or parties into thinking you're one of them or belong there for purposes of deception, spying, or accessing data.
To elude, escape, or get away from. Some games require players to escape from some people or things to perform some objective or avoid death.
We all know that explosions will get you to buy a game. This is why you want stuff blowing up on your game cover!
FMVs are pre-rendered videos used in place of real-time graphics. Using FMV was an attempt to make videogames look "more like movies", sometimes with CGI animation and others with live-action actors speaking directly to players. The downside is that FMV requires a lot of disk space, and live-action FMV in particular can look terrible by comparison.
A cutscene (usually using the in-game engine) which allows the user to contribute to or modify the action- such as changing camera angle, zooming in and out, or being able to move the player character around actors playing a scripted sequence.
Cutscenes involving real actors on a set or in front of a chroma key screen.
This concept is for games in which at least one of the main characters is male.
Pigs are pink, oinking mammals with a button nose and curly tail. They are rumored to eat a lot and be dirty. They don't fly, but they do bring home the bacon.
The act of mimicking a dead body in order to fool an adversary.
Quick Time Events show up in all sorts of games as an attempt to make cutscenes interactive. Press the buttons displayed on-screen before time runs out, or else.
Not all scientists are mad and/or hell-bent on dominating worlds. Some are just your ordinary egghead with a coat.
A law-enforcement officer with responsibility for a county.
