Halo. Crappy title, religious reference. Religion bad.
Yes, purely to combat the Final Fantasy hate-gurgling masses.

On a more serious note (Not much more)

Left 4 dead.

Game companies. Should. Not. Use. Leetspeak.
Yes I know it's *just* a number, but why for the love of literary abilities couldn't they just use "for"?

Please someone point out the obvious and say that there are four survivors.
BUT THERE ARE FOUR SURVIVORS!!!

sorry... had to

But all the titles that rub me the wrong way have been posted

Sonic the Hedgehog.

I loved the older games, up until Sonic Heroes actually.

But c'mon! Think about what people thought when they first heard that title.

Can anyone say "lolwut?"

MAG, or "Massive Action Game". I guess the previous title "256 Players all sounding like 12 year olds" wasn't descriptive enough.

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?"
Sam Fisher is in a 'Splinter Cell' of a government organisation?

A 'cell' being a group and a 'splinter cell' being a sub-group of sorts.
Ah, thank you for clarifying Dr. Cox, great avatar btw

God of War a button mashing nightmare, halo a down syndrome version of any good first person shooter, fable 2 boring game elements, oblivion looks nice but i find it boring, any new spyro game trying to improve a great platform game with a shit combat system and bad story,
and any game that was based off a movie
Bad game TITLES.

@Echer123: /thread. Nothing can beat those.
Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together? WIN.
yes, and i named many titles for games
Yes, but your "reviews" aren't wanted here, furthermore this thread is about bad titles, not your bullshit opinions.
agreed this topic isn't about bashing games that you don't like. actually regardless of your opinion on Halo,Fable, Oblivion and Spyro I think they actually have rather good names

on topic

Ninjabread man....

Infinate Undiscovery - I don't know why, but I hate that title.
I think I know why. "Infinite Undiscovery" sounds like the point of the game is to destroy things people have discovered.

It also doesn't help that the developer actually said it was "Undiscovery" because there are discoveries to uncover. Pathetic.

Inst your avatar used on periodic tables? I'm probably not the first to say that, but I'm curios.

OT: I think Saints row is pretty weird, first of all what's a row in that sense? And second of all the title makes the game sound innocent when its far from it.

Escape Velocity: Nova (Great game, but, what?)

Star Wars: Dark Forces 3: Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast (... no, seriously, that would be the complete title)

FarCry2 (AKA Malaria Quest)

Deus Ex

Fable (no really, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the game, either game for that matter)

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind: Bloodmoon (er what?)

Mass Effect and Bioshock have already been mentioned, Bioshock makes sense as a sequel to System Shock where the shock part made sense, Bioshock? Not so much, no.

Two Worlds. (Someone please explain this one to me, I've got nothing.)

Spellforce 2: The Shadow War (Much better than it sounds.)

Alone in the Dark (2008) - Rarely alone, never dark.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am - No zombies, no ninjas. Although there is a Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future.

Canis Canem Edit - Not as cool as Bully, and probably put a fair few people off the game.

Condemned 2: Bloodshot - Dunno where Bloodshot came from. At least Criminal Origins made some sense.

Deus Ex - Mainly because everyone thought I was saying Due Sex.

F.E.A.R - Very forced.

inFAMOUS - Wakes up the grammar nAZI in me.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - Not gay at all.

Need For Speed ProStreet - Considering none of this game took place on the Street, ProTrack might have made more sense. It would, however, have been just as shitty.

Prince Of Persia (2008) - He wasn't a Prince.

Project Zero - Makes no sense, and doesn't sound as cool as Fatal Frame.

Resident Evil (2 onwards) - What exactly was wrong with Biohazard anyway?

WWE Smackdown! Shut Your Mouth - Every Smackdown game up to this one used phrases from The Rock, but this one was clutching at staws even more than Know Your Role. Thankfully, they changed their minds and went with Here Comes The Pain for the fifth game, which is much better. I miss Brock Lesnar.

Half-Life is pretty silly as a game title, Prototype is also a little silly, Max Payne as well.

Oooo there's so many to choose from, but for the sake of keeping it short, I'll only name a few. Keep in mind this is coming from a man who works at Gamestop and has to look at all these ridiculous and stupid names of games all day. >.>

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona....... Now I'm not bashing on the games cause I've never played them and I've heard they're good but its just a pain in the ass to say.

Biker Mice from Mars. Sounds like a terrible new 3D Pixar film.

Power Rangers: The Movie: The Game. Amazing game, slightly redundant.

Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ.....Ok it's badass, I just wanted to throw that in there.

Boing! Docomodake. You play as a creepy mushroom father...thing and his many children. Sounds creepy, don't like saying it.
