Metal Gear Solid,
it's the kind of thing I'd expect to see across an 'adult interest' store in Amsterdam.

Syphon Filter,
A what now? A shoot em up about top secret elite special forces types, who really don't like to get grounds in their coffee? Maybe they're into stealing petrol, or they're brewers in their spare time, we'll never know.

Final Fantasy.

Most abusive use of "Final" in a name.

The story behind the first game justifies the name, but now they are just milking it as people recognize it.

More specifically, Crytek made the Cry engine. They also made Far Cry. Do you see a pattern?

EDIT: Forgot to tell everyone the worst game name ever. Nuts and Milk. Seriously. Can you handle it?

Bangai-o has always tickled me for some reason
But that aside ECW Anarchy Rulz (I like the 'Z' it makes it sound punky right) is pretty shocking.

final fantasy was named that because the company creating it was dying, so they made their final game name...final fantasy. and turns out thats that game that saved them.

I dont think SF was that bad of a name. No worse than "Halo" :)

Other games wouldn't do that at all, not games like Clive Barkers' Cliver Barkers' Jericho by Clive Barker!

Left 4 Dead is a pretty bad name, "We make games but we can't be bothered writing a four letter word" (I know that it's probably refering to the whole four player thing but I have no respect for anyone that uses numbers like that.)

It sounds to me as if it's the aliens who would want vengeance, your having shot them and all.
