A role-playing game (sometimes spelled roleplaying game, RPG) is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting. Players take responsibility for acting out these roles within a narrative, either through literal acting or through a process of structured decision-making regarding character development.

Embodiment means that the physical actions of the player are regarded as those of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

First-person Shooter
First-person shooter (FPS) is a sub-genre of shooter video games centered on gun and other weapon-based combat in a first-person perspective, with the player experiencing the action through the eyes of the protagonist and controlling the player character in a three-dimensional space.

Since the genre's inception, advanced 3D and pseudo-3D graphics have challenged hardware development, and multiplayer gaming has been integral. The first-person shooter genre has been traced back to '' Wolfenstein 3D'' (1992), which has been credited with creating the genre's basic archetype upon which subsequent titles were based.
