No-one mentioned My Name is Uncle Groucho, You Win a Fat Cigar yet? No? Well, I will then.

These are the names of the games that I like based on the name only. They have nothing to do with the actual game itself

METROID! As soon as I hear it, I picture a badass robot of the future

GALAGA! Sounds like it would be a very complicated but great foreign game

TIMEKILLERS! I always liked this name. It sounds like a game that I'd want to play

BLOODSTORM! I think of mass destruction and total chaos. Sounds awesome

LEGEND OF ZELDA: OCARINA OF TIME: Sounds like an instant classic

Thingy and the doodahs
Thing on a spring
Revenge of the mutant camels

Must take them weeks to come up with these names, bless 'em.

I would say How to be a complete b'stard, but it was based on a book

My fave character name from a game is Dash Render from Shadows of the Empire. Well funny. Also named my cat after a game character... Sparkster. Also - irrelavent - had a cat called Davros...true.

I cant believe nobodies mentioned Attack of the Mutant Zombie Flesheating Chickens From Mars (starring Zappo the Dog)

Tech Romancer is pretty cool.

How bizarre! I've never heard of that.
What's it like?

I recently picked up a Japanese MSX game whose name loosely translates as Tomboyish Becky's Large Adventure!

Another one is the PC-Engine game Hana Taka Daka!? which translates as Super Long Nosed Goblin - that's good in both languages!

It would have been even better if they'd have kept the prototype name: Foot and Mouth - but I wonder how that would've gone down now.

Another favourite of mine is Rez - by just the name alone, nobody has a clue what it's about.

Irritating Stick

There, that's it. The best game name ever

Or you could use the Videogame Name Generator to come up with your own.

I think my best one so far has got to be: Britney Spears - Motocross Interceptor.

Occasionally NSFW.

Hahaha- Endless Conga Wasteland and Mystical Afro Vs. Capcom are two classics I've had already.
