Game List

Here you can search for games in the Wiki by selecting them via the genres they belong to.

3D shooters are games where the player's on-screen view of the game world simulates that of the character. (1st- and 3rd-person view) They are almost always centered around the act of aiming and shooting with multiple styles of weapons and limited ammunition. (more)

Adventures are typified by exploration, puzzle-solving, interaction with game characters, and a focus on narrative rather than reflex-based challenges. Unlike many other game genres, the adventure genre's focus on story allows it to draw heavily from other narrative-based art forms, such as literature and film. Adventure games encompass a wide variety of literary genres, including fantasy, science fiction, mystery, horror, and comedy. (more)

Arcade games are simple, repetitive games that involve mastering one or more skills, and then applying those skills in increasingly complex ways. Often the skills required are simple hand-eye coordination and/or raw level memorization. Arcade games are categorized by being simple and addictive. (more)

Board games are any games played with a premarked surface, with counters or pieces that are moved across the board. Simple board games are often seen as ideal "family entertainment," as they can be played by people of all ages. (more)

Card games are any games that use playing cards. The cards can be from a standard deck, several standard decks, a portion of the cards in a standard deck, or a special deck designed for a single game. In order to retain the feel of a real life card game, most virtual card games simply replicate the cards and the playing table. Some also show the players. (more)

Educational games are games designed to teach people, typically children, about a certain subject or help them learn a skill as they play. Some people call these types of games edutainment because they combine education and entertainment. (more)

Puzzle games are games that emphasize puzzle solving. The types of puzzles can involve logic, strategy, pattern recognition, sequence solving, word completion or, in some cases, just pure luck. (more)

Hack and slay (or hack and slash) refers to a type of game or a style of gameplay which is primarily comprised of defeating enemies and monsters in combat, typically with swords or other mélée weapons. The term originated in role-playing games and transferred from there to computer games. (more)

Jump and run or Platform(er) games are characterized by the player having to climb up and down, or jump from and to platforms and ledges, while fighting enemies and collecting objects required to fully complete the game. Often, the player has the ability to gain powers or weapons, called power-ups. (more)

Role-playing games (RPGs) are games that traditionally use gameplay elements found in paper-and-pencil role-playing games. Modern RPG games encompass a wide range of styles and types of engines and have significantly branched out. Most "RPGs" are limited to top-down perspective, point-and-click, and some third-person perspective types, but there are some other gametyps that use RPG-style elements. (more)

Racing games are any games that involve competing in races through a surrogate playing piece or vehicle, either by getting it from one point to another or by completing a number of circuits in the shortest time. They may be based on anything from real-world racing leagues to entirely fantastical settings, and feature any type of land, air, or sea vehicles. In general, they can be distributed along a spectrum anywhere between hardcore simulations and simpler arcade racing games. (more)

Simulation games or sims are games that intend to simulate the world, or an aspect of it. They are a mixture of a game of skill, a game of chance and a game of strategy, which results in a simulation of a complex structure (like a stock exchange, or civilization flux). These games are quite current through their mirror of modern society. The benefit of this lies in the representation of complex situations of communal life, interconnections in society, and partial aspects of the economy (for example, the development of the railroad). (more)

Strategy games are typically games where the players' decision-making skills have a high significance in determining the outcome. It is more accurate to describe a particular game as having a degree of strategic elements. Strategy (and tactics) are usually contrasted with luck - games exist on a continuum from pure skill to pure chance. (more)
