Wild Woody. No comment.

Tibia - because it reminds me of the actual game. *shudder*

Driv3r was fairly bad for those of us who hate alphanumerism.

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.

Unless there is a damn good reason for calling it half life that has yet to be revealed, I'm gonna have to say it has no relevance other than the game has good physics and it turns out that a half life is to do with physics so :P

Awesome Possum Kicks Dr. Machinemo's Butt. Don't know what it is, and yet the title says it all.

lylat wars = shit name for starfox

The Outfit.
It's about a crazy commando for the US, who has to help the good nazi kill the bad Nazis.

Bomb Explosion, Flying Rockets, and My favorite, Undercover Taco, which is about the taco mascot from a fast foodchain, but like a 70's sunglass wearing funky cool secret agent guy.

Magna Carta: Crimson Stigmata

Seriously, anyone can create a game title now using the template "Weird Words: Exotic Subtitle"

Manos: Hands of F- er wait wrong medium

Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness is terrible because it took what initially sounded like a cool, indiana jones-esque sound and tacked on needless dark themes that title wouldn't belie.

Brick Breaker. Yes, we know it's a breakout clone, but damn.

Aquanauts Holiday

It's time for another Good Idea, Bad Idea.

Good idea: Taking an undeniably Japanese game and keeping the title on US release.
Bad idea: Mangling the translation so "Damashii" became "Damacy".

Good idea: Making a tycoon game set in medieval Europe.
Bad idea: Giving it an unimaginative title like "Europa 1400: The Guild".

Good idea: Sid Meier making a wargame.
Bad idea: Giving it a title, "Sid Meier's Gettysburg!" that sounds like Nathan Lane should be playing Honest Abe and singing "Four score and seven years ago" in a chorus line in the big musical extravaganza.

Alien Shooter: Vengeance

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

Lol that had me laughin a tad. hmm if i were to pick......

ehm... i curse at my bad imagination.

SimXXXX besides SimCity.

Left 4 dead.....as cool as Boyz 2 men....

Alone in the Dark, in the most recent one you are neither alone nor in the dark.

Irritating Stick
Jesus: Deadly Bio Monster
Sticky Balls
Nuts & Milk
Yogurting

These are all real games.

Actually, scratch the last one. Yogurting is an awesome game name. It doesn't get better than that.

And Masters of Teräs Käsi sounds even more ridiculous to someone who actually lives in Finland and knows what "teräskäsi" actually means (and yes, it's one conjoined word, not two). Well, you got to salute Lucasarts for making sure that 6 million people had a riot.

GothmogII:
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.

you say that, and im inclined to agree but the i remember the recently anounced M.A.G. standing gor Massive Action Game. i dont know if theres anything that screams, "we are fucking lazy!" than that title. i mean for god sakes. i read the title and i still have no idea what the game is, also imagine if shakespeare had named romeo and juliet. L.S.P. short for the Love Story Play. he would have been crucified and burned. M.A.G., Massive Action Game *walks away shaking his head*

DemonGuy792:
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?

As I don't own a PS2, Fahrenheit.

The bible game, i'm not freaking kidding.

Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People.

no no, I take it back. That is the coolest game name EVUR.

Actually, I found a Japan-Only release called All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.

"WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain"

vampire rain

Ghost in Shell
it was an alright game,bad name though

Ys.

yup.

Ys.

Beat 'em and Eat 'em

oh gawd.

oh lawd.

oh jesaws.

'Infinite Undiscovery'.

I think something at least similar to this has been done before.
But. . .

Grabbed by the Ghoulies, yup, I still find that funny.

If I see that fucking dog one more time..

Don't hurt me!

GODDAMNIT

Final Fantasy.

Most abusive use of "Final" in a name.

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

just gotta love all the stupid people who dont know stuff in these forums.

The game was titled: Final Fantasy, cause the company that created it (Square Enix) was about to go out of buisness, and they had just enough money to make 1 more game, so they titled it, Final Fantasy, cause it was the final game the company could make before they went bankrupt, but as it turns out, the game was a huge success, and the company made enough money to stay in buisness, so they continued the franchise.

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

Wow, you must be really stupid, why the hell should they change the name of the game just because they make multiple games, that would be simply retarded

^ technically they weren't square enix back then. in fact, after the success of final fantasy, they butted heads with enix pretty harshly.

1) I believe it was a joke.
2) I find that rather unnessicary.

curses, tube slider was the first response
