Names of games that should be changed...

[Pyroguekenesis]

I know, some might be hard...
But these are because they sound odd, bad or just plain stupid...these apply for any games you've played, known or seen.

They could get rid of the Final in every Final Fantasy game. Der hur hur hur

Bad jokes aside, I kinda wish they had a different name for Mass Effect. I get that the Mass Effect engine revolutionized space travel in the universe, but it's never really about that. Ever.

 

[Moeez]

Costume Quest. Love the game, but c'mon the name sounds like some free-to-play MMORPG. Why not call it "my little Halloween RPG".

 

[SimuLord]

Creative Assembly changed Shogun 2: Total War to Total War: Shogun 2, and I think if they're gonna do that, why not go the extra mile and call it...

Total War: Shogun 2: Electric Boogaloo.

 

[Nexoram]

In b4 other people do it. Call of Duty: Lag Drops. Yay i'm clever.

 

[StBishop]

Not renames but I think the elder scrolls series need more emphasis in TotES ## than Morrowind, Oblivion whatever.

Call it: Awesome McBadass v.s. Cthulhu

OT:

Yeah, Mass Effect, though I honestly don't have any better ideas for a name.

"The Lord of the Rings" is hardly ever seen in The Lord of the Rings, and no-one complains about that.

However, if Mass Effect was called "The Amazing and Extravagant Space Adventures of Captain Shepard" I would be delighted.

Limbo: "Black and White"
Black and White: "Godhand"
Godhand: "Send immediatly to bargain bin"

 

[Elemental]

I never really understood why Half Life was called Half Life :S

 

[MirrorSweep]

"Mario Sunshine" -> "Mario, no really..we're serious"

 

[JokerCrowe]

I've always felt that God of War should be "Wod of Gore".
Unfortunately Yahtzee made that joke in todays ZP, so there's no way I can prove that I thought if it first.

 

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

I personally think the original title for Uncharted 3 was wayyy better than Drake's Deception. (It was initially leaked online as World of Deceit, though this may have been fabricated by someone with vague knowledge of the upcoming title.)

"The Lord of the Rings" is hardly ever seen in The Lord of the Rings, and no-one complains about that.

I sure as hell do. Often. I think it should be called "Fellowship of the ring".

Bad jokes aside, I kinda wish they had a different name for Mass Effect. I get that the Mass Effect engine revolutionized space travel in the universe, but it's never really about that. Ever.

They named it that as the Mass Effect is the reason it all happened or was even possible. It was the Mass Effect that even made the different races not only aware of the Reapers but able to combat them. I like the name but I do understand that it would be like naming Need for Speed Combustion Theory.
Personally, I would name it "Spectre". Or at least have the title revolve around either Spectres or Reapers. But if I was gonna use reapers I would take the time out to name them something better.

OT: As for my own:
inFamous -> Hero Since that is what they really want you to play.

Mario Bros. Don't they have a last name? I would be pissed if I was Luigi.

Zelda -> Link/Legend of Hyrule Even naming it Triforce would be better. The game is named after the quest giver? Zelda herself is so frikkin' irrelevant.

Shadow of Colossus = The Magical Adventures of Jeffrey and The Giants

 

[RatRace123]

New Super Mario Bros: "Super Mario Bros 4"
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood: "Assassin's Creed 2[sub]1/2[/sub]"
Star Wars: The Old Republic: "Not KotOR 3"
Prototype 2: "Completed Project"
Dragon Age: Origins: Awakening... Just call it "Dragon Age: Awakening", it's less long and awkward.

 

[Popadoo]

Red Dead Redemption -> Desert-coloured Alive Redemption

 

[Tartarga]

Anything with Legend of Zelda should be changed to Legend of Link so that way people don't go around thinking his name is Zelda for an extended period of time. I'm sick of people saying his name is Zelda, if they payed any attention to the story they would know thats the princesses name the fools.
