Game designers rejoice -- video game name generator
Monday, November 26th, 2007 - 5:21pm
Let's face it: there are some pretty stupidly named video games out there. Developers seem pretty stuck on the whole name-colon-more-name bit, even when it's not appropriate (like, in a franchise). For instance, Bet On Soldier: Blood Sport. Or Legendary: The Box. Many names give no real indication as to what the game is even about!
But now there's a useful tool for all you game designers out there: the video game name generator!
Because man, am I ever stoked at the idea of playing Mega Man's Kung-fu Deluxe!

I know I'm not terribly cool
"Nihilistic Trailer Park Orchestra" - Rock Band 2?
"Weary Hoedown Pinball" - DDR meets Wii Sports?
"Galactic Barcode Deathmatch" - I think that's a real life game traditionally played the day after US Thanksgiving.

Man, "Kung-Fu Volleyball Nightmare" would have been a much better name for the sequel to FEAR than "Project: Origin"
I'm like a flashing lightning and a rolling thunder, I'm like a stepping razor
Revenge of the Llama Boy, Robot Hamster Rescue, Throbbing Music Colosseum?
This generator is pure gold! Worth an entire marketing department, at least.
I just spent all day trying to fix a barcode in PDF bug for our software, so I can totally relate with the name of that game.

"Blasphemous Desert Tournament"
Could be like a bunch of people doing some unholy stuff in a desert for points.
Edit:
Just came up with my new favorite "Inbred Porn in Busttown" Guess it works for adult movie titles as well as video games.
