worst game names

[Rolling 20]

I can't believe no one's mentioned "Big Mutha Truckers: Truck 'Em Harder."

I was going to say "I'm surprised no one's mentioned that."

and on the last page too

weird.

Lol seriously? I don't know whether to laugh or cry with that name. Was it console or PC? And when? I....I feel like I need to find this game....and play it....Play it harder...

Crysis.. what was wrong with just calling it Crisis?!

cus crytec made it and i think its a trend with them to work cry into the title of thier games

Blue Dragon

You could have thought of a lot of more different names.

You do know that its based off the anime, right?

Left 4 Dead is a pretty bad name, "We make games but we can't be bothered writing a four letter word" (I know that it's probably refering to the whole four player thing but I have no respect for anyone that uses numbers like that.)

It's also a pun for the logo

LEFT hand
4 fingers
DEAD body

I think it was on last gen consoles

when I first saw in a store I just said "Oh my freaking god" out loud

 

[Rolling 20]

Hahaha that's great. This stupid country won't get stupid games like that....Except for 'Pimp My Ride"....it's like they're trying to shove it down my throat.

Worst in what way?

The Movies -- What about the movies? Oh, it's a game?

We Love Katamari -- Good for you.

Rappelz -- Reasonably kid-friendly free-to-play fantasy MMORPG, or script-kiddie rape sim?

Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude -- That doesn't mean what you wish it meant.

Balls Of Fury -- No. Just... no. (Granted, it was based on a movie with a deliberately provocative name.)

Wii -- Oh, right, worst game names.

Google-Fu found this. [http://www.gamerevolution.com/feature/worst_names]

Chili Con Carnage, which I'm fairly certain I'm misspelling.

Though it doesn't seem like it, a remarkable amount of time -does- go into the naming of a thing, someone on the previous page cited Z as being lazy. However, you need to take into account that you can go through a hundred different words, sounds, emotions, definitions down on paper before you even find something that works with what you're trying to make. And of course that also doesn't mean that some names -weren't- thought up in a spur of the moment type way. But I'd have to say that many, if not the majority do put effort into it. Although, that's to say nothing of a name that -still- comes out crap even after all that.

you say that, and im inclined to agree but the i remember the recently anounced M.A.G. standing gor Massive Action Game. i dont know if theres anything that screams, "we are fucking lazy!" than that title. i mean for god sakes. i read the title and i still have no idea what the game is, also imagine if shakespeare had named romeo and juliet. L.S.P. short for the Love Story Play. he would have been crucified and burned. M.A.G., Massive Action Game *walks away shaking his head*

What don't you get? Its a Game where the Action is on a scale that can only be described as Massive. And you do realise its a working title?

actually i didnt, ok i guess i can accept that. still they could have just not titled it. it would have at least sounded better. could still be a good game though.

Can I add "THE HISTORY CHANNEL Great Battles of Rome" for its length and being crushingly boring to everyone apart from history bores like myself.

- The Castlevania series has pretty dumb names - they're all like quartet of brooding sorrow or something


So yeah, pretty much anything.

for sure. they sound like you stuck a bunch of emos in a room without knives and told them to create a game title. im suprised there isnt a castlevania: i need attention, yet.

um... Clive Barker's Jericho

 

[Dr Faust]

"Mother" for the NES (The developer said he was inspired by the Beatles song of the same name)

Street Fighter 2 wins a lot of awards in this department for classic names like "Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition" and "Super Street Fighter II - The New Challengers." In Japan they had "Super Street Fighter II X - Grand Master Challenge."

Americans got "SUPER STREET FIGHTER II TURBO HD REMIX" for 12 syllables.
