Bad video game names

What's in a video game name? Well, somebody took the time to analyze that. All the punctuation abuse, bastardization of caps, use of numbers instead of words, all the bad game titles, it's all roasted by an old, surly gamer...

This list sucks, Protype yeah but Punch Out? is a old school game an its name should never be change, they should of said "Lips" that was a bad name in its own way for a 360 title as well as "Let Make A Movie" -_-, now the Wii games that have Wii in their names is cool because it is made by Nintendo but people trying to be cool by making a game called "We Sports" is just dumb because it is a copy of Nintendo's idea as well as it is something you can let pass on being dumb (Mostly because it came from Nintendo)

Gears Of War is kind of one of the weird names, it is a name that makes you think why?? Mostly because they are gear up for war, but if you aren't to bright an all you might just think ???? my gun isn't shooting any gears an I don't see any?

Yeah some people don't get the names and when you use a name to the point that no one whats to hear it, you going to have to come up with something new.

P.S. How many would like hearing "Gears Of War 23"??? it kills the name an game.

I downright laughed as soon as I read that. I have to agree with him on most of his points. While yes, inFamous does nothing to tell you what it's about the spelling makes sense. Become Infamous, or Famous and to be honest InFamous would look a little silly.
I liked Dead Space as a name, it's better than "If you play this after midnight with the lights out there's a good chance you'll be scared silly" it's a little too long for a retail box.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit16d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing16d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9216d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
