13	----
14	!! The series in general shows examples of:
15	* CamelCase:
16	** {{Inverted\|Trope}} with the franchise's title, [=SiN=].
17	** [=HardCorps=] for Blade's police organization.
18	* CriticalExistenceFailure: You can be knocked down to a couple hitpoints of health and still run and move just as well as if you were still at full strength.
19	* {{Crossover}}: The trailer for ''Phantom Fury'' shows that the ''[=SiN=]'' series and the ''VideoGame/{{Bombshell}}'' series are set in the same universe, with John Blade apparently being an ally of Shelly "Bombshell" Harrison.
20	* HalfHumanHybrid: Elexis' experiments, including Mancini, Blade and [[spoiler:her father, Thrall Sinclaire]]. In ''Emergence'', she attempts to do this again to Blade, but he is able to stop the process by the end of the game.
21	* JigglePhysics: In both games. Despite the early infamy of the Source engine's physics, ''Episodes'' actually tones this down - it's still more than you'd see without the use of mods in just about any other game on the engine, but you have to actually [[MaleGaze pay attention]] to really notice it compared to the exaggerated hand-animated jiggle of the first game.
22	* MegaCorp: [=SinTEK=] Enterprises, run by Elexis Sinclaire.
23	* OxygenMeter: Blade starts taking damage if he remains underwater for too long. This meter is only made visible in ''Emergence''.
24	* OxygenatedUnderwaterBubbles: If you skipped collecting the rebreather (or if it disappeared from your inventory), you can still use these as a source of air.
25	* PressXToDie: Some valves and buttons have warning signs, and they cause a lethal explosion when used. On easy difficulty, some of them give a warning, before triggering the lethal effect on the second use.
26	* RunningGag: Each game references the old show Series/BarneyMiller at the start:
27	** In the original game, enemies in the first level will quip "Who are you supposed to be? Barney Miller?"
28	** In the Expansion (or when playing the original campaign through the Wages of [=SiN=].exe) Blade will in the first level say that "Barney Miller is back!"
29	** At the start of Emergence, one of the enemy soldiers will say that "Miller's down!"
30	* YouALLLookFamiliar: There are only a handful of enemy types in the game, and you'll often end up fighting many mook soldiers who have the exact same facial pattern.
