Maybe he means that it was originally going to be called puck-man but they changed it after they realized you can scratch out part of the P, or maybe that the character was inspired by a pizza missing two slices?putowtin said:

The Good:
Carmageddon - the tagline was my favourite: "Racing Game For The Chemically Imbalanced"
I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream
Altered Beast - always made me think about the movie Altered States for some reason
The Bad:
Wolfenstein (newest), Tomb Raider (newest), Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (newest), yeah you probably get the idea
The Ugly:
Conker's Bad Fur Day

Company of Heroes is by far my favourite game title. It's from a quote from Band of Brothers, a book which gets some mention, in the form of the mission, in the game itself.
Something along the lines of
"Granddad/father/pa, were you a hero in the war?"
"No, but I served in a Company of Heroes."

Good: Silent Hill (the very name inspired dread in me when I first played it)
Bad: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (love the game, but the subtitle Ace Attorney is a great way to put people off in my opinion)

That is completely non trollish/prickish.Bambi On Toast said:
Full Spectrum Warrior and Half Life I thought were good names.
Okay, Furry and Disoriented is now the title of my currently-undeveloped Third Person shooter where you play an American POW who's genetics serve as a template for a half-human, half-animal super-soldier by some evil African or Non-chinese Indo-asian government. (Who "wakes up" thinking he was merely changed into a monsterous half-human warrior, but then meets himself.)nokori3byo said:
On-topic:
Good name: Over the Road Big Rigs Racing - a shame the "game" wasn't even worth the packaging.
Bad name: Two Worlds.
There is a game called "CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder"
That name is so terribad it made me buy the game (protip: the game is terribad too)
Me being really nitpicky:
The combination of "Diablo 2" and its expansion "Lord of Destruction" bothers me, because Diablo is the Lord of Terror and Baal is the Lord of Destruction and the combination just looks so wrong to me and oh man, I am the saddest case of a fangirl in the history of times for being bothered by that.
On a positive note:
I always like the name "Dungeon Siege", 'cause it pretty much sums up the game.

I'm also nitpicky like that, mostly when it comes towards subtitles like Dues Ex: Human Revolution. Overused words like revolution, revelation, resurrection, and what else mostly started with R annoy me.Azaradel said:
Dumb: Tactics Ogre
Awesome: Let Us Cling Together
Dumb: Every Kingdom Hearts game.
Awesome: Final Fantasy
Dumb: Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Yeah, I get it, considering the two lead characters, but that doesn't change the fact that we need to stop letting Tetsuya Nomura make game titles. Or write games, for that matter.
Awesome (but for no particular reasong): JRPG titles tend to do this a lot: Ar Tornelico: The Girl Who Continues To Sing At The End of The World (literal translation of the first game's title). Resonance of Fate. Star Ocean. Tales of the Abyss. I could just keep going.

58 is LVIII. The 40th FF will probably be a big one, because it'll be called Final Fantasy XL. It comes out in MMXXXII for the Xbox DCCXX.Dirty Hipsters said:

Some of my favourite game titles are Metal Gear Solid and Grand Theft Auto, because they sound cool.
My favorite title of all time: "Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel"
I'm uncertain as to whether the Touhou Project game titles are awesome or awful such as: "Lacking Perception of the Rule of Heaven in the East ~ Chase the Enigma of the Superdreadnought Guignol"

I always thought Chromehounds was a good title for a game. Although metal+animal is always a winner. Take the band Steel Panther. The phrase 'brass monkey'. And, of course, the actual Golden Eagle.
As for crap titles, Z was just downright lazy.

Finally you got to review this damn game :/ I've been waiting for it for 2 weeks now.I know you live in Australia,but GOD DAMN :C
What you talkin' about, Willis? I've only played FFXII and a bit of FFXIII and I can honestly tell you that they aren't even remotely trying to pretend that they take place in the same setting. Kinda on topic, but FFXII had solid names for it's settings (Ivalice, Archades, and Damascus to name a few). FFXIII's, from what I've played, were flat-out stupid (Pulse and especially Cocoon).TheKasp said:
