Similar to LeaveNoSurvivors. But in that case, the emphasis is on making sure everyone is dead--if someone hides and you miss him, you've failed. Shoot Everything That Moves is more about the situation where everything you see is a threat and a target--if something runs or hides and doesn't come out until you're gone, that's just fine.

Like, say, "shoot all the other guys". Why make things complicated?
Sometimes the good guys have to go into heavily-defended territory. There aren't any neutrals there, and it's too dangerous to leave any of the opponents alive.
Or, hell, maybe you just like shooting people. But to be clear, if you're the sort of person (or army, or species) that fights ''every'' fight this
MoreDakka might come in handy now, but it's not necessary--sometimes it's knives or clubs. Usually this isn't GottaKillThemAll, because you've got some objective other than killing people--say, you're rescuing someone, or getting out of the prison camp, or making the Nazis surrender. But for whatever reason, if you see anything alive, you need to make it less alive. (If you want to put a positive spin on things, just call it a "Target-rich environment.")

Too many videogames to count are played this way, from SpaceInvaders on up. So only list video games that ''aren't'' just EverythingIsTryingToKillYou (and you're returning the favor).
Not to be confused with AnythingThatMoves, though with some people, you never know...
