The 5 Gaming Gifts That Keep On Giving      On the surface, there appear to be a million different types of rewards in gaming : weapons, armour, a host of different levelling stats, cars and other vehicles, points, story development, cutscenes, money, swords, new enemies and on and on and on.

This list shall showcase the five types of gaming rewards and explain how developers use them to keep the player hooked on the game.
