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.
Games prominently featuring celebrities, who either endorse the game or act as the focus of the story. Games with characters who happen to be played by celebrities are not always tie-ins.
The cutscenes are nothing but the pages of a comic book. Audio is usually dubbed over to give them a little more life.
In-Game Advertising is the placement of advertisements for real-world products within the game, sponsored by companies external to the developer.
These games are based off of established licenses, such as movies, comics, or TV shows. Examples are the James Bond 007 and Spider-Man franchises.
A small, closed-off area in a game containing enemies that opens at some trigger point. Often used to surprise the player, or as an alternative to spawning enemies out of thin air.
Power Ups can be used to give the controlling character, or any other character, temporary or permanent upgrades.
A portrait that conveys a character's health or other statuses via their facial expressions.
Games that include real photography on the game's cover.
Side-scrolling games present the world as viewed perpendicular to the direction the characters are facing on screen. With a heavy focus on lateral movement, objectives are often met by moving from one end of a stage to the other.
Games whose main character is so egotistical that the whole game just HAS to be named after them.
Levels that take place in or on a train or subway.
