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.
Using the Red Cross in an entertainment product is expressly forbidden by the Geneva Convention and international law, however some games don't realise that.
The concept of purchasing media and having it delivered over the internet. No physical representation of this content is given, and although the content resides on the user's hard drive they are typically granted a license to the product, rather than ownership of it.
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.
Not all games are made by dev teams with massive budgets. In fact, some games were made in Adobe Flash before becoming a commercial product.

A Game Jam is a gathering of game developers from various disciplines (Programmers, Artists, Audio Engineers, Writers, et cetera) to develop a game in a short period of time.
Games that feature an unexpected change to the core gameplay (not just a minigame).
Games based on literature. This does not include licenses of another adaptation.
In some video games, when some characters talk, what they say has absolutely no meaning, at least to the player. Whether it has any meaning to the character speaking is another matter entirely.
Health is a value that gauges how much damage players can take in a game before they die or pass out. Also known as life in some games. Health is usually represented by a bar or a percentage instead of an exact amount. Found in most non sport games
Swearing, cursing, call it what you want. It is an expression of anger or frustration, in most cases.
An intimate physical activity between two or more individuals.
Games whose titles consist of a single word.
A two-dimensional image or animation overlaid into a scene. The foundation of early 2D games, making up everything from props to the player-controlled character.
A game perspective that views the action from above, commonly at a fixed position and/or rotation.
