Bosses are enemies that fight you at the end of a level or at a significant point in the story.
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.
Comic book or manga characters who are also in video games. There are tons of games with superheros such as Batman and Spider-Man out there.
Written words that are used to describe sounds, sometimes used in comic book—inspired games, like XIII.
The comic relief is a character, other than the main character, who is meant to add humor and lighten the mood of the game. These characters are usually very dumb or very witty, and are usually very talkative.
The last boss you face in a game, usually representing the final climax of the game.
Video games that are based on comic books, manga and graphic novels.
"Hand to hand. It is the basis of all combat." -Gray Fox
Hostages exist to be saved, guarded, and occasionally executed.
It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto a building, a platform, or a skull, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
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.
This concept is for games in which at least one of the main characters is male.
From Beat-em-ups to fighting games to modern FPS, one dude hitting another has made an enjoyable pastime.
A pseudonym is a fictional name that is different from the owner's real or legal name. They can be pen names, secret identities, or even alternative names because their real name is unpronouncable or shouldn't be said.
A person leading a double life. Many comic book characters have one and sometimes the plot of their stories is keeping their secret identities a secret.
An eight legged arachnid. Some make webs to catch prey and some are poisonous. None have made a web grand enough to be called a parlor, though.
A superhero is a fictional character of unprecedented physical prowess dedicated to acts of derring-do in the public interest.
The act of traversing space while attached to a piece game geometry. Sometimes via a rope, or other grapple like object.
Video games that, for better or for worse, are based on an existing non-video game franchise. Usually drawn from movies, tie-in games have also been made about TV shows, novels, and even one-hit wonder pop bands.
Games whose main character is so egotistical that the whole game just HAS to be named after them.
A malevolent character whose goals are evil in nature. While villains are commonly featured as antagonists, not all antagonists are necessarily villains.
