A protagonist who lacks some or all of the qualities traditionally seen as heroic.
Games that are little more than extensive cinematic sequences in which the player has little interaction with what is happening onscreen. This notion of a cinematic game is epitomized by laserdisc arcade classics such as Astron Belt, Dragon's Lair and Bega's Battle.
A game with fake interactivity will present the player with a choice, but will prevent further progress, such as by repeating the choice, until the player selects a specific answer.
A game based on an anime.
Whenever there's a new Pixar, superhero or Harry Potter movie they have to make one of these.
Sometimes movies are based on comic books, many of these movies go on to gain video game adaptations.
Back in the 1980s, some arcade games utilized LaserDisc players to add pre-rendered video to the action. Pioneer would attempt to use the same technology in a home console with the LaserActive.
The act of breaking the law.
This concept is for games in which at least one of the main characters is male.
The police chase consists of the police chasing someone; usually by car. Sometimes the player plays as the guy getting chased and sometimes as the police.
Quick Time Events show up in all sorts of games as an attempt to make cutscenes interactive. Press the buttons displayed on-screen before time runs out, or else.
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.
Voice Acting is the art of providing voices for characters in games, television shows, films, radio programs, and other forms of media.
