Lost: The Game

Well, okay, it's actually Lost: The Video Game, but it doesn't have quite the same retarded ring to it.

just as I and everyone else who read this comment Lost: The Game

Close, he was supposed to be called "Monkey Kong" but they mistranslated the M to a D. At least that's what I heard.

Acutally I believe that's an urban legend, Shigeru Miyamento believed "donkey" meant "stupid" in English, and assumed the name Donkey Kong would convey the sense "stupid ape" to an American audience, he has repeatedly stated this in interviews and that at no point was it a mistranslation.

Unless he's lying...

I was at a Chucky Cheeses recently and I saw an arcade game called Faster than Speed

My mind almost exploded trying to contemplate the title.

Seriously, Faster than Speed

Halo
Master chief, no matter however you spin it, is no saint.

its named after gigantic super-weapons that float around a planet in game. They look like the planet has a halo because of their large size even in comparison to the planet

*faceplam* It's just a joke. I know why it's named after the super killy rings. But the joke was that MC himself shouldn't have a halo since he's killign anything the moves

he kills enemy soldiers that are part of the invading force that is trying to propagate a holy war to fulfill their religions doomsday scenario. He ends up allying himself with "heretic" aliens that are against the church that runs the Covenants government.

Not exactly killing everything that moves

Dude...I've played the game. And I'm using something called a 'Blanket Term' Yeah, sure the Marines, ODST, Elites, even the flood at one point are allies, more often then not, you're blasting bad guys.

ok, thats true. A lot of people seem to think of Halo's plot as being "kill them because they're bad, they're bad because they are" grade, and I sort of thought of what you said as meaning that. my bad

I think the pokemon games get the crown for the least inventive.

Seriously. Blue, Red, Silver, Gold, Ruby, Sapphire Diamond etc.

Pathetic

What about the upcoming soul silver and heart gold?

Yeah, they are remaking gold and silver...

 

[Gmano]

Yes, it was a joke. I know Halo is the name of the big killy death star rings. But MC himself, you must admit, is not very holy

Not to mention, it has caused some confusion for me. Master Chief is a rank in the current US Navy. The Chief is apparently a marine. The equivalent rank in the Marines is Gunnery Sergeant. As such, I have, on more than one occasion, wondered if our hero in Halo was a Marine or a Sailor.

He is a part of the UNSC or United Naval Space Command

There are somed pretty long game name...

"Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie"

Pretty good game, actually. One of those few licensed ones that actually got it "right" (like Goldeneye). ...but why does the title on the box have to be so long?

Really? Good? Did you get past the part where you inexplicably fall into the floor as you are being hunted by amazons, or the part where they think it is a good idea to make a survival game first person? (You need to see your body in a survival game people)

You bet. I played it from beginning to end, on PC, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

One of the worst titles I ever remember seeing was FEAR. Yes, fear...that emotion that can sometimes be passed through by games when they actually gear towards being scary. Then there's this generic FPS game with some little girl from the ring for some arbitrary reason. It wasn't a dreadful game, they should have just called it something more appropriate like...like... GUN-oh wait, snap!

I'm really quite shocked we haven't seen the title "SPACE SOLDIERS" since pretty much every game focused on nowadays could adopt it.

That game actually made me genuinely scared, that's not counting the mandatory startle moments, which is quite an achievement for a game because I almost never get scared.

Anyway, I'll second the Wii. Not a game, but seriously, it's so full of innuendo it's just not funny anymore. Also the colour coding for Pokémon games, I mean, why?

I kid you not.

No..way.. Nintendo are just one innuendo fail after another.

Especially considering how they are all the same flipping game, just change around a few pokemon and change the color that goes with it.
I have quite a few games that use Dark as an adjective. Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 and 2, as well as Gauntlet: Dark Legacy.
Come to think of it, I have quite a few games with a : in the title and that use a sub-title as well.

Please, do not use Baldur's Gate before Dark Alliance. Please do not soil the good name of baldurs gate. (I know the Dark Alliance games are baldurs gate games but still)

Wet. There's nothing wet about it.

Actually, that's not true. Wet has a double meaning of both sexual connotation, and, "Wetwork", a term used for assassination. I overlooked the sexual bit the first time I saw the game, but Yahtzees review on the game clued me in.

Personally, I have always been a fan of, "Alien Shooter: Vengence". About as generic as it gets name-wise. Though another great name, which I'm surprised has yet to be mentioned, is, "Divine Divinity". Its a name that makes your brain come to a screeching halt.

Divine Divinity was a weird name indeed. But an awesome game ;o

Anyway, OT: Final Fantasy.

would you prefer them to just have numbers? I mean ya the pokemon games are not masters of game names but come on.
