It is a term often used to explain gameplay and plot. For instance, Final Fantasy X was a linear game, you went from point A to point B only one way, a straight line. Nonlinear gameplay often has different ways of reaching the end, sometimes having different endings entirely. If a game is nonlinear, it has several ways of accomplishing goals. A good example of this type of game is Deus Ex. I love that game to death.
