In video games, breaking the fourth wall occurs when a game becomes aware of its nature as a game, or when a character directly acknowledges the player.
An Easter Egg is an intentionally hidden cheat or hidden content in a video game, also known as a "secret".
In games, fire can be an obstacle, a tool, a weapon, or a solution. Just don't play with it...unless you really want to.
First-Person is a vantage point that attempts to simulate looking through a game character's eyes. It is most commonly found in first-person shooters, racing games, and visual novels, and to a lesser extent in other genres, such as RPGs, 3D platformers, and adventure games.
Freeware games are those which have their full versions legally free to download or otherwise obtain.
The concept of a game referencing another game through mockery, parody or even directly. A game reference to the same franchise does not count.
Some games, especially modern adventure games, feature hotspot highlighting where all visible interactive items on screen are highlighted by pressing a certain button.
With the internet in full swing, some games reflect its leak into popular culture by making references to the World Wide Web.
Nudity is qualified as either exposed buttocks, breasts, or genitalia or general lack of clothing. Video game nudity is largely a rarity outside of the PC market.
A narrative that takes an unexpected turn. Commonly, plot twists come in the form of revealing that the player character is not actually who they thought.
Point and click is an interface featured in a specific kind of adventure game, where players click on objects and characters to interact with them.
Who needs 2D when we've got 3D? 3D, or 3 dimensions, is what we're used to seeing in almost every game these days, letting us do all sorts of awesome stuff like run in circles!
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.
Games whose titles consist of a single word.
The option to display dialog and other information with text on screen.
Voice Acting is the art of providing voices for characters in games, television shows, films, radio programs, and other forms of media.
