so i was inspired by the recent worst people names thread, and wanted to know, what do you guys think have been the worst game names in history. i would put infinite undiscovery up there, im not sure what happened to it, but it just stuck in my mind for terrible game name. what other horrific game names can you guys think of?

tube slider.

I'm not kidding

Ghost Recon. It could be this awesome game about Reconing I duno.....Ghosts.

But no, just another shooter clone.

Crysis.. what was wrong with just calling it Crisis?!

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.

cuz it was made with the cry enginge, and they couldnt not let you know that, they needed to wave their dicks and make sure everyone knew

Gran Turismo-it sounds like turrette syndrome for old women

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.

Any Star Wars game with three subtitles.

Divine Divinity.

No honestly, google it.

Dynamite Headdy.

Something they would sell beside "Metal Gear Solid"

Irritating Stick.

final fantasy.......you would think they would change the name of the game 13+ games later.

My own made up game name:The Soccer Mom Game!

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?

Z is actually a name for a game came out in 1996 for PC i think they coulda been more creative

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.

Army of two....not a horrible name but doesnt leave u guessing or give room for sequels.

army of two....2?

Blue Dragon

You could have thought of a lot of more different names.

Divine Divinity
Solid game though.
Winner of the redundancy award 3 years running.

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.

Yea it's more of a brand and trademark now. Tradition kind of deal.

oh well stupidest name I have heard for a game is Hot pixel. just...stupid, nothing can justify a name like that.

Ivoryagent:

it wasnt the final fantasy at all! there was like 13 moar!

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

GUN

Just...bad. Really bad.

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

Most definately the following game has the most stupid name I've ever heard......

Armored Core: For Answer

/facepalm

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.)

maplestory anyone?
there is no story and has absolutely no connection with maple

Alien Shooter: Vengeance

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

bullet witch...just screams WTF

I've always considered XIII to be a stupid name.
Can't wait for XIII II!

hard to be a god.. nothing more to say

Face Fister *obscure japanese fighting game*
