The Desert. Hot, dry, dusty, and ''sandy''. Technically, the scientific definition of a "desert" is "a large, arid ecosystem that receives less than 10 inches (25 centimeters) of precipitation per year". Thus, deserts can be rocky, cold, and even covered with perma-frost.
Still, as far as video games go, the ''best'' deserts are the type with sand. [[Rule of Cool| That's how it is.]]
The video game desert is a vast, hot and dry place, usually with [[Build Like an Egyptian|Egyptian-style pyramids]]. It can be a big part of games set in a [[Scavenger World]]. Thankfully, heat stroke and dehydration are usually not a problem.

* The first Ark level in ''[[Halo 3]]'', and the Sandbox/Sandtrap multiplayer maps.
* The South Shrine from ''[[Shining the Holy Ark]]'' is set within a massive pyramid. Despite the fact the closest village is made up of Ninjas and the Kingdom itself is your [[Standard Fantasy Setting]]. Inside you get to face mummies, sand monsters and also travel on the ceiling.
* If you've never actually played ''[[Journey]]'' and only know it from, say, [[YouTube]] videos, you might think the whole game is this. Truthfully, it's only about half the game, yet it still arguably has far more [[Scenery Porn]] than any other desert in video games.
