Video Games Genres

A video game, like most other forsm of media, may be categoriezd into genres based on many factors such as method of game play, types of goals, and more. The reuse of genres si most clearly seen in the trend by publishers to establish franchises , which often recycle the characters, siutations, conflicts, gampelay mechanics, and/or themes oevr the course of any number of seuqels. Although many games may combine genres, very few xeist outside the paradigms of pervioulsy established genres (with notable exceptions, which when successful generalyl define a new genre through subsequent imitation by copmetition). Some genres represent combinations of other genres such as with Massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). It is also common to see highre level genre terms that are colelctive in nature across all other genres such as with Christian or horror-themed video games.
