Coolest and dumbest game titles.

Always thought Left 4 Dead was a cool game name.
As for stupid ones, Probably League of legends. They only called it that so it could be abbreviated to Lol.

Good:
Grand Theft Auto - Sounds good, works great as an acronym and fits the game
Ninja Gaiden - Short, sweet and you know what you're getting
Bad:
Dragon Age 2 - Not bad on it's own, but it just seems wrong when you look at it as the sequel to Dragon Age: Origins. Lacks consistency
Halo: Combat Evolved - Love the title Halo. It's perfect. But adding the subtitle Combat Evolved? Really?
Also, I always find the titling of Street Fighter to be worth noting in discussions of bad game titles. "Street Fighter" is a great title, even if you don't always fight on the street in the game. It gives you a mental image of a rough up and comer putting it all on the line in one on one combat. It just works. So why the heck was it changed to "Fighting Street" in North America? This here, this is a regular street. That one over there, though, that's the fighting street. The Street Fighters fight on the Fighting Street. *sigh*

Best title ever!
Supersonic acrobatic rocket powered battle cars.
Worst title... this is harder.
Infinite Undiscovery

Infinite Undiscovery
Since I just praised it in another thread, honorable mention to Planescape Torment. An awesome name to an awesome and unique universe.
I annoy my friends by pronouncing it like a He-Man villain in a cardigan: SWEAT-OR!putowtin said:
WORST names:
Infinite Undiscovery. (Wut.)
The Witcher. (Which Witcher? The wicked Witcher? When did "witch" become a verb??)
Alan Wake. (Yeah, I get the pun, and yes, I LOVED the game, but it may be the blandest title ever for a "horror" game)
Awesome Names:
Gears of War. (I am not a fan of FPS games in general, so I basically hate the GAMES, but I do like the title.)
Fatal Frame. (Pretty clearly conveys the idea of Camera + Dead Things.)
Dead Rising. (Liked the games, but the title is just perfection.)
Left 4 Dead and worse, Left 4 Dead 2. (Text-speak sends me into paroxysms of rage anyway, and then to have TWO numerals in the second title? L4D2 = Left 8 Dead? GRAAAH!)
