Dude, Perfect Dark.

It's a cliche though, meaning it pertains to a large group and not all.

Another one of mine is,

No matter how desolate the area there will always be ammo laying around.

You will only encounter ammo for the weapons you currently have.

All M rated titles with online play have 12 year olds playing.

Women don't know how to play games.

The main character's love interest dies.

It is perfectly natural for an experienced pilot to randomly fall out of the air and hit you.

There always seems to be five more enemies coming from above even if you clear out the building.

Capturing a point on a map unlocks doorways.

Sprinting goes hand-in-hand with a flashlight.

It is not useful unless it stands out.

Laws of Physics do not apply to rag dolls.

If this rag doll happens to collide with something in the air it will get stuck even if it is a hanging light.

The better the graphics the more likely it is to suck.

Even in RPG's only one weapon can hurt the final boss.

The Final Boss always has two forms.

If not then you will fight two battles in a row and both extremely difficult.

Helicopters can hover in one spot forever.

And animals can talk.

The tutorial's in video games.
Everytime the character learns something new, they have to show you how to use it.

I don't really mind it, but why have a manual if they're gonna tell you in the game?

When the hero lets the villian transform into something badder.

Because unless they are paralyzed in some way, there should be no reason they can't take out the villian during the transformation.

Willing to make friends with Atheists, Buddhists, Communists, Islamics etc etc as long as they have reasonable morals. Jehovah's Witnesses and Scientologists excluded.

When a game has an included manual, it shall never be read.

Said manual is guaranteed to have vital tips, strategies, and instructions to help you beat a certain boss.

Anything with Mario in it.

Seriously, there's too much mario and I'm sick of it.
