It reminds me of something, but I can't put my finger on it.

Th upcoming Kingdom Hearts games. KH:Birth by Sleep...KH:358/2 Days....KH coded. What kind of names are those? No matter how good they justify their decision for these names it'll still remain as one of the most dumbest names ever.

Games with incredibly long names like The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II -The Rise of the Witch-king.....holy shit...even the acronym is long as hell, TLOTRTBFMEIITROTWK. Think the longest name ever is Simple DS Series Vol.14 The Jidousha Kyoushuujo DS -- Gendoukitsuki Jidousha, Futsuu Jidou Nirin, Oogata Jidou Nirin, Futsuu Jidousha, Fusuu Jidousha Nishuu, Chuugata Jidousha, Oogata Jidousha, Oogata Jidousha Nishuu, Oogata Tokuchuu Jidousha, KenbikiSimple DS Series Vol.14 The Jidousha Kyoushuujo DS -- Gendoukitsuki Jidousha, Futsuu Jidou Nirin, Oogata Jidou Nirin, Futsuu Jidousha, Fusuu Jidousha Nishuu, Chuugata Jidousha, Oogata Jidousha, Oogata Jidousha Nishuu, Oogata Tokuchuu Jidousha, Kenbiki.

Also I always wonder why it wasn't Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core than Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7. It just makes more sense putting FF7 first.

Though it doesn't seem like it, a remarkable amount of time -does- go into the naming of a thing, someone on the previous page cited Z as being lazy. However, you need to take into account that you can go through a hundred different words, sounds, emotions, definitions down on paper before you even find something that works with what you're trying to make. And of course that also doesn't mean that some names -weren't- thought up in a spur of the moment type way. But I'd have to say that many, if not the majority do put effort into it. Although, that's to say nothing of a name that -still- comes out crap even after all that.

Lord of the Rings, Battle for Middle Earth II, The Rise of the Witch-King.

Try writing that on a christmas list.

Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi. What a horrible concept.

Super Skidmarks - for obvious reasons.

Seaman - ditto.

Kingdom under Fire: Circle of Doom. Not a good choice, but very appropriate for the 360...
And when abbreviated: KuFCoD. Kufcod. I don't know, but it sounds odd...

Destroy All Humans! -Least creative or most aptly named game ever? Sorta like calling Gran Tourismo "drive cars fast"

Fahrenheit - I swear it has no real relation to the game it titles. I prefer the American title: Indigo Prophecy. At least that has some meaning within the game.

Er...have you taken into account the fact that as the apocalypse is getting closer, the temperature is dropping daily? Fahrenheit has more to do with the story than Indigo Prophecy.

On-topic, Wild Woody.

Left 4 Dead.

Sins of a Solar Empire. It's too long.

Oh, right, so it does. Sorry about that, you're right. However, I still think Fahrenheit is a poor title for a video game, it's not a particularly inspiring name, nor does it appeal to a casual onlooker looking down a list of games and sees two names next to each other: God of War and Fahrenheit. Which one would you pick, without prior knowledge of the game?

I second the Left 4 Dead.

It sounds corny, yet bland.

I'm gonna go with Final Fantasy, since they just make new ones all the time, so there's nothing "Final" about it.

Final Fantasy.

Most abusive use of "Final" in a name.

It's called final because Square was going out of business and it was it's last attempt at a video game.

Anyway, worst game name ever... humm... maybe Half-Life.

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.)

Are you saying you have no respect for Valve? One of the only game producing companies reliably pumping out good games title after title? Producer of a game that made Yahtzee Croshaw himself admit that it was nigh perfect?

Anyway, on topic, Left 4 Dead. Not a very good name for a game, but I'm still looking forward to it

(ya see what I did there, with the irony and such)

I remember asking for "Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun: Firestorm Expansion Pack" for my birthday a long time ago.

Final Fantasy X-2 really sucks, though. I mean X-2, yeah. How do you honestly pronounce that? I've always taken to calling it "Final Fantasy Ten-Two", which just sounds retarded. I suppose "Final Fantasy Ex-Two" would suffice too, but come on.

I actually thought it was to do with final being another word for ultimate.

But I agree that Left 4 Dead is the worst name for a game yet. That or Alone in the Dark.

It practically reeks of word for word Japanese -> English translation, and that gave us such gems as 'someone set up us the bomb'.

"Beat Em and Eat Em" was the name for a porno game on the Atari, at least according to the Angry Video Game Nerd. Of course it's going to be a bad name >.<
