*The ability to carry far more weapons and ammunition than would be possible
*Exploding barrels EVERYWHERE
*The female lead with the invariably giant knockers
*Any major character whose death you don't witness first-hand will be back at some point
*Anything that doesn't kill you outright can be cured. Bites, bullet wounds, shrapnel wounds, radiation poisoning, broken bones and falling damage can all be cured perfectly with bedrest, bandages, food, drinking water or improvised field dressing.

Backup is only capable of arriving several agonizing minutes AFTER it could have possibly been useful.

Blue haired best friend turns evil
War games is always set in ww2
Always playing an allied soldier in a war game
being able to find the hot chick in any video game on deviant art in very odd poses and in various states of clothedness.
Change that last one to "any character" and you've nailed it.

Always being in the middle of the worst event possible and surviving every time.

Main Characters always being complete emotionless bad asses.

Bad guys always being soulless entities that must be killed for the better of all

(why do you think Bungie made the Elites talk in Halo's 2 and 3 but not in 1? They were know your allies and could not be looked at as evil, mindless killing machines but actual beings with thoughts and feelings.

Shooting just about anything red will cause a explosion.

I hate the Falling into water, instant death. so annoying or Mario jumping into bottomless pits
You mean, jumping into dane cook's career kind of bottomless bit or nintendos piggy bank kind of bottomless pit?
Any of them would do :)

I just learned how to hyperlink/use html so i'm trying to use that a lot :p.
And TV tropes not only gives stuff for games, It gives stuff for EVERYTHING. Every genre, every type of media, Real life, Everything.

Didn't the simpsons game have a huge list of them that you unlocked as you pyaled through it?
