DUDERS! I need your help with a game title.

No, it's not one of those threads where I'm looking for the title of a game I remember parts of or anything.

I recently started a class in game design (mostly 3D modeling and art stuff). One of my current project is to make a "one pager" pitch for a game. Problem is, while I have my whole game in mind and writing the thing won't be too difficult, finding a title is the hardest thing.

So here's a quick description of what I thought of: It's a third-person game, you play a war correspondent/investigative journalist. It takes place from the 1990s to the 2010s. You do things like filming and taking pictures of combat, the aftermath, civilians, etc. You also talk to sources/whistleblowers to get info, you might do some "spying".

I'd give more details, but you know.... I don't want to give my ideas away :P. I brainstormed some pretty shitty titles while at work: The Line of Fire, Reports of War, Correspondants, Heroism Report, Necessary Risks, Survive to Tell, Freelancers.

Those aren't great, but I'm no writer, man! So if you guys have anything, I would love to hear it. If you can't come up with anything, I'd like atleast an opinion on the ones I gave. It's for tomorrow night (Feb. 14), so as much as I love humor, actual responses would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, internet comrades.

Geraldo Rivera's tour of terror

Embedded: Photos from the Front

That might already be a title, but I'm not sure

Between the Lines

war correspondent simulator

War Stalker

Now pay me.

Ohhhh you.

Those are pretty good. I especially like Embedded. Don't know about the subtitle, I don't want to make it too focused on the photography, even though it's a big part of it. Thanks

That is quite... to the point.

I should probably specify that the game would have a story, so it's not quite a simulator. (I know you were probably joking)

Warnography

How about "Article 4 A (4)" it's the part of the Geneva convention that classifies war correspondents as POWs. Also, I think this is a phenomenal idea for a game. If it ever gets made, I hope we get a chance to play it

It might be better to title it according to the story theme, like Beyond Good & Evil.

Witness to War

war correspondent simulator 2014. Gotta get that annualised franchise, son.

Point & Shoot

NEVER! The money is mine now! HAHAHAHA!

Man, I was totally hoping someone would bring something like that up. I kept thinking about names like Laws of Warfare and such, but it just didn't sound right. I'll take it into consideration. Thank you, and yes hopefully one day I'll get to make something like this, but I'm not there yet :P. Someone might get it first.

Thing is, I don't really have a story quite figured out. I just know it would take place in conflicts that actually happened (Afghanistan, Kosovo, Libya, etc.) but with maybe some different twists or whatever, to fit the needs of the story. I also have a bit of the main characters backstory, but nothing that would matter to the overall plot, it wouldn't be focused on him.

That sounds pretty good.

A little too on the nose.

"Pokemon Snap - Harden edition" and then just add a stainless steel blue filter on the original pokemon art.

• For the Record
• Field Work
• Firsthand Account
• Red Pages
• Danger Close
• Conflict Diaries
• A Bloody Lens

That's all I've got, I love naming stuff. Good luck with your assignment!

Those are great. Thank you very much.

Super Deluxe War Time Truths: Hyper Spy Journalist Edition

Why settle for simple-to-understand titles when you can go apeshit with the naming and grab people's attention that way?

@strife777: No worries, let me know if you end up using one of those.

I've Covered Wars, You Know

@strife777: My suggestions are "The Lens of Truth", or "Snapshot." Although "Firsthand Account," "For the Record" and "Witness to War" are also pretty good.
