Worst Game Titles

Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales

...

Is that real?

What did Splinter Cell have to do with the games? I mean shouldn't they have been called "Sneaky white guy in a black suit?"

Oh yeah and Halo should have been called Shooty guy in power armour...

It's sarcasm mr. troll *sigh*

I was being sarcastic too, how am I a troll?

The ballad of gay tony..... No explanation needed really.

Unreal.

Not because it's essentially a bad game title, but because it says absolutely nothing about the game content. You could name a game "Ultra-Fly" and have it revolve around riding ponies while shooting midgets with shotguns.

...that doesn't sound like a bad game idea actually.

I remember when it was released, unreal was a pretty adept way to describe the game visually, so it kinda fits. Not so much with the subsequent games though.

Crysis. I mean how fucking lame is that. Crytek just had to shoehorn their name in there somehow, just for added shitty gimmick points.

And S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I mean it's not exactly a friendly name to begin with, then that flaky ************ on the box art really seals the deal of weirdness...

Though, that really does prep you up for the creepy weird shit in the game, so it does make sense, and is kinda appropriate.

Anything with "war" in the title or "black"...

Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War: Dark Crusade? No, wait, that is actually kinda bad when you drag it out like that. I suppose Blackout could make a decent game title.

if nobody's said it already, all the dot hack// games. Especially when its written as .hack//. The first time i saw those games, i was confused

ArmA... I love the game, but the title is probably the worst I have seen. ABBREVIATION FAIL!

I will also add S.T.A.L.K.E.R. because it's a pain in the ass to type. .___.

 

[Khazoth]

Bayonetta is pretty bad too.

I don't understand why they didn't just call it Devil May Cry 5..


Badum Tish.

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

My Horse and Me.

Is it a Wii-game about horses aimed at prepubescent girls?

Or...

Is it hardcore bestiality porn?

 

[Mullahgrrl]

Final Fantasy >Insert Number<

Not very final, is it?

And the worst one is the sequel to Final Fantasy X.

Final Fantasy X-2

 

[DistinctlyBenign]

Super Monkey Ball - Heh.
Stalin vs Martians - Just... no.
We &#9829; Katamari - That's a little presumptuous, isn't it?
The New Super Mario Brothers - You take one of the oldest game frachises, re-make the game in side-scrolling style it abandoned years ago, and update the graphics and that makes it 'new'?
Feel the Magic XY/XX - ...?

 

[farmerboy219]

Half-life...sounds like an RPG but is a brilliant game.

 

[yosophat]

Not really a game, but I still think "Wii" is an extremely stupid name. Then again, "PSP Go" almost tops that.

Beside the point but games with Wii in the title and 64 even though 64 but not as silly if games with Gamecube in the title existed.

 

[Armored Prayer]

Disgaea (spelling?)

At least all of the other titles mentioned here make sense and you can slighty understand what means. But with this title you have no idea what it supposed to mean. Its not explained or even mentioned in the game. Does anyone know what the title means?

 

[Aerodynamic]

Stalin Vs Martians

 

[[Cold-Shoulder]]

The new metal gear solid game coming out Metal gear rising:Lightning bolt action

What did Splinter Cell have to do with the games? I mean shouldn't they have been called "Sneaky white guy in a black suit?"

If you want to stretch it a bit, it's because Third Echelon is a Splinter faction of the NSA, and Cell is another word for faction in the sense it's used here. Also, if Sam's discovered, the US will deny he ever existed, so he's a "Splinter" in that sense as well.

As I said, that's still sort of stretching it.

It's called Splinter Cell because thats what the agents are called. Why they call the agents splinter cells we don't know, maybe they thought it sounded cool.

That's my theory agents called Splinter Cells = game called Splinter Cell.

P.S. realize I might sound a bit rude to some poeple but I'm not trying to be.

 

[JDLY]

Pacman. What the hell is a pac, and why has it bonded with a man to create a circle that eats dots?

y do u hate me

Don't mean to be rude but this is a pet peeve. Please spell correctly if possible. There is a button on your keyboard for every letter and you can reach one as easily as the next.
This isn't texting or instant messaging.
Plus in my opinion spelling things out makes me think I am talking to an at least semi-intelegent person.

P.S. I don't mind acronyms like btw, lol or idk (unless used in speech) as they are used for more than one word.

Like I said I don't mean to be rude. If you take it that way I apologize.

I realize I might not need a wall of text but you never know how who your talking to will take what you are saying.

I'd say 'Bioshock', because it's a generic-sounding title doesn't evoke ANYTHING about the game - other than you can BIOengineer yourself to SHOCK people, if you stretch it.

What?

It is a brilliant title. It reveals the bio part of the game and it must be a pretty big shock for jack to, Crash land an airplane, Arive at a massive underwater city, Realise that he is stuck in a genetically mad city leagues under the sea and is forced to inject himself with dangerous substances and fight his way out.
