video game renaming

[Kollega]

They should have called...

"World In Conflict" - "Hammer & Sickle Time".
"Left 4 Dead 2" - "Right 2 Live" (or something like that, use your imagination).
"Mercenaries 2" - "Airstrikes 2: Hooray For Airstrikes!" (well, duh).
"Modern Warfare 2" - "Death To The Subtelty!!!"
"Mad World" - "Battle Royale With Cheese".

Modern Warfare 2 - Network Failure

 

[Kud]

Wow, very mature.

people are gonna flame you maybe Call Of Duty 6 should be a better renaming I like the games but I dont think it is the best shooter ever its fun nothing more nothing less (I havent played it yet)

Its an Arby n' the Cheif reference.

Infinite Undiscovery...oh, anything, but I'll throw out Melancholy Melody.

 

[irmrbrian]

Timesplitters- Future-Space Time-WWII-Haunted-Western-VR-Mutant-Zombie-Shoot'em up.

 

[Woodsey]

I was actualy hoping serious name changes instead of jokes

Then you came to the wrong place.

OT:

SW: The Force Unleashed - For Everyone Else But You!

Far Cry 2 should of been named "African Safari: Enemy Outpost Spam Edition"

or how about "Combustile Land: Some Jerk Put A Kill Me Sign On My Back While I Was Unconsious With Malaria Edition"

Far Cry 2 should of been named "African Safari: Enemy Outpost Spam Edition"

or how about "Combustile Land: Some Jerk Put A Kill Me Sign On My Back While I Was Unconsious With Malaria Edition"

but wait i have more
"Molotovs For The Win: Zebra Killing Edition"

Modern Warfare 2 should be called JUST that; Modern Warfare 2.
The use of the annoying full title "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" is very confusion-inducing. If I were a parent not so video game savvy, I'd probably end up just buying my kid Call of Duty 2 for christmas, thinking the subtitle is "extra".

Also, any of the recent Nintendo/Mario games that start with "New" should go under a heavy renaming. Not only is it confusing, but they cut themselves off for a sequel. "Wanna play Super Mario Bros. Wii?" "What, the New one?" "No, the New New one"

My candidate for FarCry 2's better title: FarCry: Blood Diamond (keeps the marketing hype of the first game, and makes a bit more sense)

This should be obvious, but Half-Life 2's expansions should just go under their original names. Half-Life 2: Aftermath, and Half-Life 2: Outland. I really don't see much marketing appeal in gradually-increasing numbers.

Beyond Good and Evil could have had a catchier name, then it may have gotten the sales it deserved.

Unlikely. Well-made, original games seem destined to be ignored these days. BG&E, Oddworld: Strangers Wrath and Okami spring to mind.

Metal Gear Solid 4=

[HEADING=1]Talk-A-Thon 4, starring Old Snake![/HEADING]

People keep saying this like they didn't expect there to be a lot of words in a Metal Gear Solid game.

Is this selective memory loss or are people just stupid?

No, it's just that Metal Gear Solid 4 had some of the longest in the series. I think it's over nine hours worth in total.

Though there probably is some selective memory loss. People need to save room for things that make the slightest bit of sense.

ZING!

I am never one to question a title chosen by an author.

My friend and I were talking about how Fable 2 was a good game, but not a good Fable game.

So I suggested renaming it "The Adventures of Captain Bad Metabolism"

 

[theace1]

lol that was a good movie

 

[Instant K4rma]

Far Cry 2 = Blood Diamond: The Game.

 

[Uber Evil]

They should have called...

"World In Conflict" - "Hammer & Sickle Time".
.

I personally think it should be called "Nukes R Fun to kill Ruskies with."

 

[Kermi]

I think Dark Forces should have stayed Dark Forces.

Dark Forces was ok.
Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight was ok.
Next they went to Jedi Knight 2.
Then Jedi Academy.

It's a little pet peeve.

 

[Jonny49]

Timesplitters- Future-Space Time-WWII-Haunted-Western-VR-Mutant-Zombie-Shoot'em up.

No, no, no, no, no. Timesplitters should have been called- Take that Halo!

 

[OmegaTron]

Assassin's Creed 1 = Stab Fest Galore

 

[LeonLethality]

Chrono Cross to anything without "chrono" in its name. It doesn't deserve to be a sequel to the one of the best games EVER!

 

[hotdogoctopus]

Resident Evil 5 = White Man Solves 'The Problem With Africa'.
