Fierce_LiNk Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) So, I was in a thread on the Wii Board where it was mentioned just how bad the name for SonicandSegaAllStarsRacingWithBanjoKazooie is. A quick google search brought me to this page here It's quite an old article, I think. But, I chuckled at some of the truely awful names. Princess Tomato in Salad Kingdom Silhouette Mirage: Reprogrammed Hope (hahahaha) STICKY BALLS 70's Robot Anime Geppy-X: The Super Boosted Armor If It Moves, Shoot It! I couldn't contain myself with some of these earlier. Laughed too bluddy hard and had tears in my eyes. Can you think of any more particularly awful ones? I want to play Sticky Balls!

Dyson Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 South Park: Lets Go Tower Defense Play is pretty awful. And renaming Halo: Recon to Halo: ODST seems silly. I'm sure there's something blatantly obvious I'm missing in my heeeead but I can't think of it at the moment. Make me laugh forumites!
Cube Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Bioshock 2. For such a story-driven game, it needed a subtitle (it feels like a book-like series and you don't see books with names like "Northern Light 2"). What happened to "Sea of Dreams"? Although that's not really a worst name contender. Also: Beyond the Beyond is an awesome name.
Jonnas Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Big Mutha Truckers Though, from that list, Booby Kids and Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam were pretty funny
mcj metroid Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 beyond the beyond is pretty funny. but i gotta say also award for worst boxart ever too certainly loves his teddies
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 10, 2010 Author Posted May 10, 2010 Hahahahaha. That is brilliant, along with that image. Homo-erotic to the max.
STOOPIDDITTIES Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 WAHAHAHA! But old games are too easy to mock. You know this to be true. Resident Evil is a pretty bad name the more you think about it. Also, I cringed when Sega changed Sonic Wild Fire to Sonic & The Secret Rings, which manages to both sound naff and implies sexual happenings.
Nolan Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 I always wanted to play Doshin the Giant, and I don't think the name or box art are that bad. LSD: Dream Emulator comes to mind.
STOOPIDDITTIES Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
chairdriver Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Some of these titles are stunning though. A Boy And His Blob is literally one of my favourite titles ever. Resident Evil is a fucking amazing name.
Eenuh Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 I always wanted to play Doshin the Giant, and I don't think the name or box art are that bad. LSD: Dream Emulator comes to mind. I played a bit of Doshin the Giant (got it for my ex while they were selling it for cheap here), and it's really not too bad. Not a game you would play for too long though... I forgot if there were any objectives or a story mode or anything, but it was still a bit fun. =P
Ashley Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Halo: REACH for the skiiiies. Climb every mountain higher. C'mon. I can't be the only one who thinks of that song whenever I see/hear the name.
Patch Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Haha, 'Wild Woody' is pretty funny, but combined with the cover art, it's masterful. I think 'Tech Romancer' is actually quite good. I found a screenshot of Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom. Am I wrong for really wanting to play this game? [ATTACH]3362[/ATTACH] Here are some others I found: I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream [ATTACH]3363[/ATTACH] Let's Go by Train 2, Professional Edition [ATTACH]3364[/ATTACH] Frak! [ATTACH]3365[/ATTACH] Caveman Ugh-lympics [ATTACH]3366[/ATTACH]
Cube Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Halo: REACH for the skiiiies. Climb every mountain higher. C'mon. I can't be the only one who thinks of that song whenever I see/hear the name. Isn't it Reach for the stars?
Ashley Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Well someone clearly still listens to his S Club 7 back catalogue :p Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom features Liz Lemon? I like Pesterminator: The Western Exterminator, it sounds racist.
Cube Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Well someone clearly still listens to his S Club 7 back catalogue :p NO! I only remember it well because I had to perform a choir version of it at school.
Coolness Bears Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 IT'S MR. PANTS! The Best and Worst title. The game is of course of the highest spiciness!
darksnowman Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 I found a screenshot of Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom. Am I wrong for really wanting to play this game? [ATTACH]3362[/ATTACH] Afaik, its on the VC. You know what to do!
MoogleViper Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 NO! I only remember it well because I had to perform a choir version of it at school. I'd tell people I listened to my S Club 7 back catalogue if I were you.
Jonnas Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream [ATTACH]3363[/ATTACH] This title is pretty much what happens in my nightmares. I hear the game is pretty nightmarish, too. Also, Revenge of Columns
Coolness Bears Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 ugh that mr pants game was horrible haha No! I loved it back in 2004, played it for many hours!
Jonnas Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 second one tops it Oh lord, first time I'm hearing of this.....
