Viewing Thread:
"Worst Game Names Ever"

Following my response to a the F1 game for the 360 thread, the name Psygnosis came up (a games developer from the past) and with it reminded me of a game. Since Wiki-ing the game, it was linked to a web page 50 Worst Video Games Ever (link takes you to the top 10).

The comments of the writers give the list a dose of humour, so it' worth a quick browse.

Maybe we could come up with our own list of 50 games? I'll edit here the ones you come up with.

(Although currently, my favourite title so far is "If It Moves, Shoot It")

Haha, managed to raise a smile on my face :p

I got confused in America as they call their big cars trucks and their trucks semis. To me, a semi is a crude joke shared among our friendship group about my ex-deputy! May have to tell you about it later.

their readership wouldn`t know what a "truck" was.
now if it was a Land Rover game.....

I do believe there was a game on the Dreamcast called Seaman. No explanation needed.

Heh, no. "The Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2: Gas Pump Girls Meet the Pulsating Inconvenience from Planet X" is the one game name.

Those two I remember seeing at work and thinking "Am I the only one who actually sees what the intention is behind that name?"

I'm surprised the Daily Mail didn't jump on that title!

I've decided to leave out the toilet humour associated with what I think of that Game's name from this post :P
