Silly game titles
Especially since the advent of the DS has it become apparent that more and more game titles are given absolutely ridiculous names. Some are needlessly long, some are weird, and some are just plain stupid. What are some silly game titles you can think of?
This topic was inspired by a new game hitting the DS called "You'll Incur Losses if You Remain Ignorant: How Money and Things Work DS." It's long, it's bizarre, and it's easily forgettable.

I'm sure to a lot of people the Dragonball Z game names can be a mouthful. To someone not all that familiar with the franchise a game name like Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 has got to throw some people off.

NIS "Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What did I do to deserve this?" come to mind. Plant vs Zombies is also a silly title.

I'll just end the thread by saying any game from Japan. Lol just kidding but most of the games from there have silly names. That "Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie Barbecue" game looks nasty, I'm glad I didn't check out any of the screenshots.

I have a nostalgic affection for "Tongue of the Fat Man." "Leather Goddesses of Phobos" is both silly and awesome at the same time. There's a Game Boy puzzle game called "Daedalian Opus" which makes sense since Daedalus created the Labyrinth of Crete, but still sounds really silly.

Infinite Undiscovery. The Noobtoob podcast made fun of that name.

Some other long-winded, weird, and just plain stupid game titles that come to mind:

I don't know why, but Mr. Mosquito sounds ultra silly.

These are actualy game titles:
Grid (Makes be think of grids on charting tables) Grind (That what my teeth do when playing as ATV in Head On) Dirt (I'm not paying $60.00 for stuff that gets on my car) Fuel ($60.00 can still get me quite a bit.) Need Fot Speed: Shift (We do that alot when paralell parking) Prototype (So I don't get the full game?) Juiced (Thats how I feel before using the potty) Yaris (I'm already at the edge of my seat) Ford Racing (So I get to drag race old hot rods and demo-derby Pintos?) Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (What?) Note that most of these are signle word titles, which rub me as miserable attempts at being edgey at sounding silly.

@Master Toon and Beefy:
"Any game from Japan", eh? Another Mind doesn't sound silly to me, neither does Parasite Eve or Final Fantasy, or Xenosaga, or Time Crisis, or Street Fighter or Tekken ("Tetsu"+"Ken" equals "Tekken", or "Iron Fist"). These are Japanese games, and these titles don't sound silly at all. Really though, I think that statement is both overgeneralizing, as well as misinformed; no offense (unless you were just kidding?). FWIW though, the reason Capcom changed "Rockman" to "Mega Man" was more or less because the title sounded "silly". I would say "Guitar Hero", but that would be sarcasm (don't ask, it's a long story). On the other hand "Gitaroo Man" is a silly localized title. Couldn't they have called it "Guitar Man"? Of course, we can't forget titles such as "WTF" (Work Time Fun), and "LOL".

Continuing with the RPG theme,
"Final Fantasy II." Why? Because if the first was supposed to be the "Final Fantasy," how can there be a sequel to it? I know the expression "not the final Final Fantasy" is pretty common now, but it probably would seem odd to someone unfamiliar with the series. |
