What is the best name of a video game?

I don't know about you, but I enjoy good names of things. It's a thing I have I don't know I'm weird.

Anyway, what would you say is your favorite game name? Currently the best one I can think of is Sins of a Solar Empire. Too bad I don't like the game at all, but still.

I'm pretty sure there was a game on Greenlight called "War Battles" which is a pretty fantastic name but I can't find it anymore

Red Dead Redemption always had a nice ring to it, in my opinion. I also admire the to-the-point title the Hitman games sport, along with pretty nice grandiose subtitles like Contracts, Blood Money and Absolution.

I wouldn't say it's my favorite, but every time I see Blade Symphony in my Steam library, I sorta nod my head, do a golf clap, and whispered "well played."

I'd guess this doesn't count, since it's just based on the title of a novel, but I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream is a pretty damn good title. Command & Conquer is pretty good as well, as it describes perfectly what that series is all about. The japanese title for the 1996 FPS Powerslave/Exhumed is really good as well - 西暦１９９９ファラオ復活, or "The 1999 resurrection of Pharao".

Oh, and while the game was pretty bad, I like the title You Are Empty. Oh, and Beneath A Steel Sky.

Dong Dong Never Die.

It's fun to say.

Dudebro: My Shit Is Fucked Up So I Got to Shoot/Slice You II: It's Straight-Up Dawg Time

Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble

My answer to this question is the same as it always is.

Suck my dick or die!

Magenta Nutcase Kitchenfloor.

If you get the reference, you're a cool duder.

Sword of the Stars is pretty good.

Also; I always find Squid Yes, Not So Octopus to be an amusing name.

Bonus answer: I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream - which shouldn't really count, as its name is taken directly from a short story.

I don't know ... Shadow of the Colossus or The Last of Us ?

Titles like Ilomilo and Ibb & obb are pretty cute . Or even Ratchet & Clank .

Binding of Isaac is a favorite, especially with the expansion surname of Wrath of the Lamb. I know they're stolen directly from other sources, but still great.

Off the top of my head, Chrono Trigger, The World Ends With You, Castlevania subtitles (e.g. Symphony of the Night, Aria of Sorrow, etc), Hotline Miami, Mass Effect, and Geometry Wars are all good names.

Rapelay

I totally forgot about the world ends with you.

That one is also super mega good.

Narco Terror comes to mind.

Jet Set Radio, Ace Attorney, Divekick, Ghost Trick, Hotline Miami, Fallout, Mirror's Edge, Portal, Zeno Clash?

#1 is probably Divekick.

Hotline Miami is incredibly evocative.

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War is very evocative of what the game is about.

Mass Effect.

Its the core principle around the technology in the sci-fi universe the game takes place in. It's an interesting term that calls for investigation, and its a snappy phrase. It's brilliant really.

DEFCON: Everybody Dies.

The World Ends With You is a personal favorite, I also really like Dragon's Dogma.

Sins of a Solar Empire as well

I was looking up upcoming games and I'm pretty sure adventure time: explore the dungeon because I DONT KNOW is the best game name and I don't even watch adventure time.

but i'm pretty sure it's cheating for me to give the right answer so...

Doom

Melty Blood.

Final Fantasy.

I love that title.

Two Crude Dudes

Metal Wolf Chaos rolls off the plate just so.

Chrono Trigger and The World Ends With You are both pretty striking and interesting names.

Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble is soooooo good though...

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

Also, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together.

Dejectile

• Planescape: Torment
• Half Life
• Thomas Was Alone
• Torchlight

Edit: Monaco: What's yours is mine is mine. Another fantastic name I forgot.

Westerado - Metal Gear Solid - Castlevania Symphony of the Night - The Last of Us - Fist Puncher - Dive Kick

SimCity. Short and to the point. No pretentious subtitles, and you know what you're getting even if all you have available to you is a department stores barcode sticker!

Skate

Its short, its to the point, and I know exactly what I am getting.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch roped me in with it's title alone./

Just Cause. Why you ask?

JUST CAUSE. EHEhAHAEHAEHEUHEUE.

Should of Been called just ODST

but it need the Halo name behind it.

So the best video game name is a fictional titled game i wish game would of been called

Halo 3

It's a really dumb/great name.

I will also say I think Sins of a Solar Empire is badass title.

Papers, Please is really good too.

Edit: Oh yeah! And I think Enemy Unknown is a really badass name for a game.

Assassin's Creed

Red Dead Revolver, Red Dead Redemption

Revengeance (in Metal Gear Rising)

Mirror's Edge

Bulletstorm

BELIEVE IN YOUR JUSTICE!

Or if you prefer: HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?!

Biggest ham ever.

Minecraft says what you do. Command and Conquer as well. X3: Albion Prelude just sounds nice to me, even though I've still only played Terran Conflict. Sins of a Solar Empire is also good.

I also like the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. subtites - Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, Call of Pripyat.

I was always a fan of Demon's Souls because of its very specific singular and plural usage.

Also Hyperdimension Neptunia mk.2 for sheer dumb.

Can't forget Bravely Default: Flying Fairy for most japanese.

Even though it didn't last so it doesn't really count but The Next Great Sequel in the Saint's Row Franchise is the best title.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch gets my vote as well. So brilliant... or dumb. Either way, it's fantastic.

Also Phantasmagoria. WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

From Wikipedia:

Phantasmagoria ( American pronunciation(help·info), also fantasmagorie, fantasmagoria) was a form of theatre which used a modified magic lantern to project frightening images such as skeletons, demons, and ghosts onto walls, smoke, or semi-transparent screens, frequently using rear projection. The projector was mobile, allowing the projected image to move and change size on the screen, and multiple projecting devices allowed for quick switching of different images. Invented in France in the late 18th century, it gained popularity through most of Europe (especially England) throughout the 19th century.

Netflix only has the one season! There are 5 seasons of that show you know!

I like the name "Tactics Ogre" a lot just because of the way it sounds, but the subtitle kind of ruins it. Makes it sound all pretentious and uppity.

Just "sounds", by the way, I don't know if the game itself is.

Let Us Cling Together ties the whole title together.

I love pretention in moderation.
