Silly Blonde, you are refering to a third person action game when you can see your entire character, such as grandtheft auto. The Battlefield games, such as Battlefield 1942 are like massive scale multiplayer first person shooters. You can play up to 64 players online and kill each other and drive tanks and choppers and shit. In games such as this you see the game from first person person perspective, hence, first person shooter, or FPS.
The other type of game that I think you are refering to is a Real Time Strategy game, or RTS. In which you have many units and you usually control them from a birds eye view. Games like this usually involve resource management and building up massive armies to defeat your opponent.
The last type of game we will discuss today is a Role Playing Game, or RPG. In which you run around and cast spells, level up your character, and accessorize them with things like firehelmets and hankerchiefs of greater wisdom. This kind of game is for those that suck at all other kinds of games (sorry active).
This is dorks lesson of the day.
