It was called WHAT!?!

[ProfessorLayton]

As much as I love Left 4 Dead, the title is a bit lame. I mean, Left For Dead is fine and it doesn't try to force a dumb number in the title for no reason.

 

[Evil Raccoon]

I'd say N+
Or The World End With You, awesome game, strange title.

Also, X Blades sound really cheap
And Terrorist Takedown 2. Just say that out loud a couple of times.

GOTCHA Force.
A (now rare) game that hos one of the worst titles I've ever heard, but one of the most fun games I've ever played.

Yes i have to agree that it does have a terrible title but i've played through that game like seven times. Its like a drug trying to get all the damn special ones

Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando

Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal

... Wait, those are actually awesome. Uh... Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter. It's just so generic. 'The Next Chapter'? That is to game titles what 'Reloaded' is to movie titles.

I always thought those games had double-entendre names, there's also Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters

OT: "Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero?"

You know, I never got that one. Now I know.

Half Life.

...why is it considered half a life? (Note: I haven't played it beyond the first hour or two. Got intensely bored, thoughti t was junk, and went to go play more Ace Combat IV.)

It's called Half-Life because it refers to the 'half-life' of a radioactive element.

And knowing is half the battle

Lost: The Game

And the sequal Found: The Game

And the prequel 'You: just"

We could do this for hours

...I'm sorry, what?

I'd also like To point out Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty and Ratchet & Clank: Sive Matters. The creators must be seriously fustrated.

 

[The Heik]

Wet. There's nothing wet about it.

Wet as "wet work". It's a synonym for assassination

 

[lwm3398]

Lost: The Game

And the sequal Found: The Game

And the prequel 'You: just"

And, the last one, Really: Sucks.

And knowing is half the battle

The other half is that badass shuriken gun, with an acid upgrade.

Or the Rhyno.

 

[bigdaddy95]

Magic The Gathering sounds dumb on close thought, I mean it is a lovley card game, but why is the title backwards? But then if it was the right way around, it would have still sounded dumb, Gathering The Magic? No, or they could call it " Cigam Eth Gnitehtag " or " Gnirehtag Eth Cigam " , looks like Welsh doesn't it?

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

I can't believe nobody mentioned this yet...

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days

How is this supposed to be read? 358 half-days? 358-and-a-half days? 358-divided-by-2 days? Squeeniiiiiiix!

Any one word game with 4 letters.
Halo, haze, Sims, Fear, Fifa, etc. etc

 

[crudus]

The original developers were Japanese, and they were looking for an english translation for "stubborn ape." For stubborn, the word they found was donkey, and for ape they found kong. At least that's what I heard. It's still pretty dumb.

Donkey Kong, how can an ape be a donkey?

Wikipedia says the creator thought "Donkey" meant stupid. He was laughed at when he proposed the name but the name stuck.
