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.

Electronic music is one of the broadest classifications of music, and has been a staple of video game soundtracks since the 90s. The genre's main trait is the use of electronic instruments.
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.
The maintenance of a garden and the cultivation of plants.
This tag is for all games and characters that deal in the concept of gods, demigods, half-gods and the like.
A night of ghost, ghouls, costumes, and candy. Some video games are based around this holiday, while others simply pay it respect with special levels or characters that embody the spirit of All Hallows' Eve.

A movie reference in a game, is where a game references a film. This can be done in many different ways.
A mode that allows a game to be replayed after a first completion, carrying over items, experience, weapons, and other elements from the first playthrough.
A scrolling news feed that is part of a game's interface. They commonly deliver real-world news in sports games, but in most other cases the headlines are just a source of humor.
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.
Games that have had an Original Soundtrack album released.
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.
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.
Sometimes a game is so great that the developer has to go back after the game's release to add achievements.
Most achievement systems allow developers to hide certain achievements, obscuring details about them until a player has earned the achievement.
