Worst game names ever?

Davies · 07-12-2007, 06:22 AM

While looking for a manual for "Tongue of the Fatman" (don't ask), I stumbled upon this: one man's opinion on The 50 Worst Video Game Names Ever.

Well, it gave me a laugh.

Any other insane names you can think of?

"Sticky Balls"?

Oh, God. That's so bad it's good.

Irritating Stick.

You must congratulate somebody who named a game "Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja".

Spiwak · 07-12-2007, 08:57 AM

I think my personaly favorite is Wargasm.

I remember that one. Classic button-mashing fighter before fighting games got all those ridiculous combo moves that require three arms and lightning reactions to play.

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure is a good contender for a future list

Spiwak · 07-12-2007, 12:11 PM

What's wrong with Zack & Wiki? Too long?

Squinky · 07-12-2007, 02:53 PM

And I thought The Game That Takes Place on a Cruise Ship was a bad title!

You've played it? Then tell me, what is a Dragon Ninja?

I remember when I bought my ol' PS1 some years ago I got a game called: Iron Man X-0 Manowar In Heavy Metal with it, I bet I laughed at the games name more then I ever played that stinky game.

Ha ha ha, what was the game about?

fajerkaos · 07-13-2007, 03:04 PM

Well, it was a side scrolling platformer, you could go at both right and left (ensuring Non-linearity, and of course getting stuck if you choosed the wrong direction)...
...And you could shoot a lot of guys

And in the background you hear a "loop" of the same 30 seconds of music playing over and over again, ending, starting again, ending, with a few moments of silence in between. Which got reeealy annoying after a surprisingly short amount of time.

Hey, it got 30% at IGN, maybe I shall give it one more 10 minutes after all some day...

Nelly Cootalot (it's an underground game).

It wasn't that bad , it spawned a 2 issue crossover comic book.
