Multiplayer games allow several players to play together at once. Like co-op games, this can be done locally or online, but unlike co-ops, players aren’t necessarily on the same team. For example, the Smash series is an all-out brawl between players.

Short for co-operative, these are games which allow for multiple players to play as teammates, often as an alternative to single-player. Co-op games can be local, when connected to the same console, or online, creating teams from a global network of players.

A Role-Playing Game allows the player to assume the role of an in-game character and to make choices which shape the plot. One classic example is Dungeons and Dragons and more recently the Mass Effect series.

First Person Shooter, is a genre of game that involves armed combat seen through the first person perspective - that is to say, what you see is limited to what your avatar can see. Frames per Second, or the framerate, is a measure of how many images appear on a display per second, whether that be on a television or an HMD. Lower frame rates can make animation look disjointed, whereas a higher FPS leads to smoother, naturalistic movement.

The virtual world is a digital environment that can be navigated, interacted with and potentially modified, be that through virtual reality or conventional means, like a computer mouse.
