Present in most action games, where people can say cheesy stuff and get away with it. Usually spoken by the hero, before or after wasting a dude.
In many games the player is given the power to harm and or kill creatures. Many games have been brought to spotlight by groups like the rather militant PETA.

Sick 'em, boy!
Games that have been banned, or refused a rating for one reason or another.

Because you'd never expect a banana to be an undercover cluster grenade.
Not all bosses can handle the player by themselves. Many use waves of lesser enemies to fight for them while they rest, and some even let these minions do all the work.
A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
Glass that can be broken and destroyed in real-time.
Feline animals commonly kept as pets. There are many different breeds and varieties.
Chemical weapons are weapons who use chemical products to obtain various detrimental effects.
Cows are four-legged ruminant mammals, bred for milk, meat, or leather.
A sight placed on the HUD used to aim and provide a point of reference to the player when looking and interacting with the game world. Although they often aim weapons, they have a variety of uses and have appeared in many games in many different forms.
Some games just won't settle for laughs. Some games make you want to cringe as you're busting a gut.

Your friend in medicine. Mostly.
A dog is an animal, of which there are estimated to be 400 million of in the world. Said to be man's best friend, they naturally appear in many video games.
An elephant is the largest land mammal who has big ears, a trunk for a nose, a tail, and tusks. Supposedly they have good memories, hidden graveyards, a love of peanuts, and a great fear of mice.
When the main character at some point has to escape from a confined area, be it a dungeon, a prison cell, or a penal colony.
An Expansion brings new missions, modes & new story elements to a full product title. Expansions typically require a full version game to function, but there are also stand-alone packs as well.
This page is about the concept of Exploding Heads. Exploding Heads come in two different forms - one, where they are used as a dramatic device (eg. Bionic Commando), and, secondly, where they are used as a weapon (eg. Alien Storm).
A powerful release of energy. This energy is usually expelled in all directions very quickly, typically giving off orange or red flames.
