worst game names

[Healey]

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.)

Seconding this. Sure, it's a fairly clever play on words, but it's spelled "FOR", dammit.
Oh, and Empire Earth. It doesn't really make sense to me.

Jak and Daxter, its tjust the name of the 2 characters come on

love the games though

Odd... Jak and Daxter, Ratchet & Clank... Seems someone in charge of Playstation games needs to work on their creative title skills.

 

[The Eupho Guy_v1legacy]

Heist (Mainly for being an anagram of Shite, which the game is...)

 

[Ace of Spades]

Metal Gear Solid 4: Tactical Espionage Action: Guns of the Patriots. Too long

 

[Death Magnetic]

Rainbow 6 vegas 2.
It contains too many numbers and sounds like a homo erotic orgy in vegas.

Any WWII game with 'OF' in the title.

So all of them.

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.

I keep seeing this game around but have heard nothing good about it. I'm a bit of a history bore myself when it comes to Rome, but does it come close to Total War?

I thought Left 4 Dead was like a sequel to another game (thus the 4) but I was wrong, so I don't really see the point in the title. Nonetheless, it's a really good game

THERE ARE FOUR SURVIVORS LEFT IN A DEAD WORLD.

WHAT THE FUCK IS SO HARD TO GET ABOUT THE NAME?

Burn the Rope.


...that's assuming we're talking about ANY game and not just the marketed ones.
Otherwise I'd raise my hand for any of the Tak games. Nothing against the series, but come on. Tak is a solid name but anything and everything they add on sounds like something you'd hear coming from the mouth a 7 year old.
But then again, I believe that's their target audience.

 

[Thaepheux]

GUN

Just...bad. Really bad.

There's also "GunZ". . wich pretty much sets the scene. I'd have called it, Wacky Jap's with firepower.

Well....when you put it like that....seems somewhat clearer...by somewhat I mean very

 

[plastic_window]

Soul Calibur. Spell it right next time, fellas.

 

[Arionis]

ZOMG.

It's an MMO.

From Gaia.

And it's called "ZOMG"

......

Touch the Dead... for the DS...

Necrophiliac much?

List of games i'll never even give more than a glance because of the name:

Jaws: Unleashed, Fire Warrior, Halo, Guild Wars, Tony Hawks Pro Skater (seriously, it sounds like a Barbie toy), 300 March to Glory

Dude, what? I went looking for Jaws:Unleashed because of the name. Also, you didn't play Halo because of the name? I gotta say alot of people believe there are plenty of other reasons to not play that game. (Don't abuse me fanboys, I liked it)

no no, i've played Halo...and sincerly wished i didn't. the name misleads as it decesnds from the heavens to hand us...Mediocracy. i know its evil intent now, and i see as do many others as EB Games used selection of Halo 3 gets bigger and bigger each time i go in XD

The word you're looking for is "mediocrity." And as for my suggestion of worst game name, well... someone already mentioned Infinite Undiscovery.

age of conan had an npc called arses (egyptian place)

...Really? I didn't know substituting a number for a letter for a very good reason can stop you from respecting one of the most important and influential game developers. It seems a bit... simple minded, is all.

Myself, I'd go with E4: Every Extend Extra Extreme or something stupid like that. Spiffy little game, but a retarded name.
