Ah, well... it's usually a future where technological advancement has led to a gritty dystopia, where criminals are abundant and nearly everything has been augmented by machines (say, like, your senses from nanobots/implants etc). It usually has a dark style and is quite graphic. Also, there is rarely any central government.... usually whoever has the most assassins and power is boss, basically. It's like the game Syndicate or Mirror's Edge.
