Third-party developers and publishers occasionally engage in the practice of releasing a title or piece of DLC on only one platform for any number of reasons. Sometimes these are permanent while others are only platform exclusive for a certain window of time.

The police chase consists of the police chasing someone; usually by car. Sometimes the player plays as the guy getting chased and sometimes as the police.
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!
A portal is a hole in reality connected to another hole in reality, whether magical or scientific in nature, that allows a person to instantly travel incredibly vast distances simply by walking through one.
Where a video game comes with something "exclusive" only when you Pre-Order it, sometimes from a specific location. This can be a piece of DLC or it can be something not in-game or even "exclusive" or early access to demo or beta.

A portion of a shooter or action game where players are forced into an on rail shooting sequence.

Often found in either very violent games, or games taking place in or around water, Screen Splatter is a visual representation of blood, water, strawberry jam, or other liquids temporarily obscuring the player's field of vision.
In-game jokes or Easter eggs involving references to characters or events from earlier in a game or the game's series.
A sequel (also called a follow-up) is a game that carries forward the gameplay concepts, and often the story, of a previous game to which it is officially linked.
So you made a fighting game, and the direct sequel is a hack 'n' slash action game? Wait, what?
The ability to complete sections of a game out of the intended order (or to skip them entirely) through skill and knowledge of the game.
No point in gathering coins, gold, gil, money, or whatever if you can't buy anything with it.
Sidekicks, different from partners, are less powerful, less important characters who support the main protagonist and generally stick by their side.
While completely normal from the neck down, these characters seem to be lacking a bit of skin up top. Creepy.
Crunchy frozen water fallen from the sky. Many games feature a snow world, a snow level, or otherwise-connected regions of wintery landscapes.
A move used in a lot of games where the standing/moving attacker spins upon himself, damaging the surrounding enemies.
A grid that is organized for the start of the race in rows of 2, 3 or more. Very useful for standing starts in various racing titles.
2 Eggs and a Key. Or is it 6 Eggs and a key? Or is it 4 Eggs in a very specific order, then the key? Or is it buy a 360 and then get eggs? The last one actually.
You want an example? Know what I mean? See what I did there? *Wink wink, nudge nudge*
