Games in which the player shoots things to progress, usually with a variety of guns, and other times with bows and arrows.

4X is a genre of strategy-based games in which players control an empire and "eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate". Emphasis is placed upon economic and technological development, as well as a range of non-military routes to supremacy. Games can take a long time to complete since the amount of micromanagement needed to sustain an empire increases as the empire grows.

Focused on having real players' characters and the computer's avatars fight with one another to the (virtual) death.
