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.
A character in a game who has acted professionally, in movies, TV, or the stage.
Instrumental music, often electronic, that does not follow conventional music structures, instead using various sounds to create a mood. Ambient music can evoke many different feelings in the listener, from tranquility to creeping dread.
Games that let you choose the path you take through the story-line.
Chiptunes are musical compositions that are synthesized by a computer or console sound chip.
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.
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.
The single most important thing in the world, love is a powerful story telling element that can connect characters or drive a story. There are many video game characters who have fallen in love with someone or something.
This concept is for games in which at least one of the main characters is male.
An uninterrupted speech mostly given by a narrator or the main character. May include useful hints, interesting backstory, or character-related viewpoints.
Moral dilemmas presented to the player that often have a significant effect on the story or other characters.
A music video is a film that comes with a song. It can be a combination of the music artists performing and/or actors playing scenes and/or other elements. Many games come with a music video related to the game.
Music based games may be growing in popularity now, but there have always been musicians in games. Whether they're in a band, play an instrument, or just sing into a hairbrush, these characters live for music.
Games that have had an Original Soundtrack album released.
How non-playable characters or factions perceive the player character based on their actions or choices in the game world.
Romance in video games can either be interactive, in which the player attempts to woo another character, or an unchangeable part of the story of a given game.
Games with characters that sing.
A sub-genre of adventure games, visual novels are a form of interactive fiction that usually have very little in terms of gameplay but often focus more on extensive storytelling, character interactions, decision-making and branching narratives.
