Names of games that should be changed...

[xdom125x]

like many others, i wouldn't mind the Zelda games changing their name to the protagonist's. I'd love to play Legend of Link (LoL).

Oh yeah, and Metal Gear Solid 4 should be called Metal Gear Solid: The Movie (now with interactive parts, like them vid'ya games us'ta have!)

BioShock should be changed to Rapture. Seriously, what the hell does BioShock have anything to do with the game? What does BioShock even mean? System Shock made sense, there's almost nothing biological about Rapture.

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

There surnames are Mario hence Mario Bros.

Cock of Duty 4 : Modern Gayfuck Stupid (Cookie for the reference)

Probably Zone of the Enders. Just because if you ever rented that game it would be the most lame thing for someone to say out loud.

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

It's a physics term, because Gordon is a physicist. But even when you know that it doesn't make much sense either.

Exactly.. But hey, it caught on i guess hehe.

Half-life refers to the radioactive decay constant of an object in nuclear physics, often represented by a lower case Lambda (as seen on the HEV suit). They couldn't really call the game 'Lambda' so they settled for Half Life.

OOHHH, I get it now, so yeah it fits

Easily,

Demon's Souls.

Difficult to pronounce as well.

May have been said before, but whenever someone asks me what ME stands for I tell them "Mountains and Elevators"

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.

Actually, and as much as I hate being picky, "Mass Effect" is actually just a metaphorical title: it actually refers to the way that everything you do will have many repurcussions (or a "massive effect") as opposed to the scientific phenomenon.

SMOT: I'd have to pick Dawn of War. When war has been going on for the better part of a million squillion years, I don't think anything that happened in the year 40k could be considered the "dawn".

Ooh, Uncharted: Subtitle should be Journalised: Subtitle. Drake's journal(s) have most of the information already in it, so at least most of it has already been charted by someone.
