What's the coolest game title ever?

[Derfel]

Base your response entirely on the title, nothing else. I'm not really sure about mine, but I love "Gunvalkyrie". Also, I think I liked "Wrath of the Black Manta" just because of the title.

[punqsux]

culdcept

[Danimal]

Not sure what I'd call the coolest title ever, but my all-time favorite was for a game I saw in a bargain bin at KB Toys years ago. I can't even remember what system it was for (Atari 2600 maybe?), but the game was called "Tanks But No Tanks". I just can't help it- I love that title. I almost bought it just for the box.

Hyper Street Fighter II X Anniversary Edition

All those street fighter titles started getting a bit out of hand. I remember Super Street Fighter Alpha plus EX for PSX.

Splinter cell: Pandora Tommorow (just cause it makes my head feel hurty)

[st0neface]

Panzer Dragoon Zwei

[Theenternal]

Bubble Bath Babes :)

[PittsburghAfterDark]

Shaq Fu

That's the absolute best. A game name has to relay if it's going to be good, bad and give you some idea of what to expect. Shaq Fu tells you all you need to know about a game. Absolute greatest video game name of all time.

[Doylerulez]

The most amusing to me is "Wally Bear and the NO! Gang" for the NES.

"Gunsmoke" aways sounded cool.

[CaseyRyback]

what about Bible Adventures?

[Diiz]

ChuChu Rocket!

[oddfella]

Freakin Funky Fuzzy Balls. Its a very old PC game that was pretty good.

[Drico]

I agree that Chu Chu Rocket is a really awesome name! :D

[DreamSymphony]

Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together

[magilacudy]

Herzog Zwei and Panzer Dragoon Orta. I like how those roll off your tongue when you say them.

[KingDox]

Wargasm


best Video game name ever...

[Gothic Walrus]

Pong.

Really...how can you beat that? The title is perfect for the game, and sounds damn cool. :)

[DevilpupUSMC]

Devil May Cry is a pretty cool title which, I happen to like the game too.

[Simon Adebesi]

Kabuki Quantum Fighter.

and a cool game, too. hair whipping is awesome, and something you'd never see these days.

[elprincipe]

Day of the Tentacle

I liked the title Herzog Zwei. I also liked Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura.

Hyper Street Fighter II X Anniversary Edition

hey, that was only street fighter ex plus alpha. I'm looking at the disc now. It's not out of control that much..

[redgopher]

A decent tie between Resident Evil and Devil May Cry for me.

[italianstallion]

Barbie Horse Adventure: Mystery Ride

[Sea Dragon]

Beyond Good and Evil
No One Lives Forever
The Longest Journey
Chrono Trigger

As mentioned already, Arcanum, resident evil, and devil may cry are cool titles.

[xzafixz]

Eternal Darkness (just sounds cool)

[vshekar]

Hyper Street Fighter II X Anniversary Edition

All those street fighter titles started getting a bit out of hand. I remember Super Street Fighter Alpha plus EX for PSX.

hey, that was only street fighter ex plus alpha. I'm looking at the disc now. It's not out of control that much..

The weird thing about that game is how the title evolved. You would think it was Street Fighter EX with some "alpha" features added that led to the weird name (as in, Street Fighter EX + Alpha). But if I'm not mistaken, first there was Street Fighter EX. Then a modified version called Street Fighter EX Plus. Then, some more features were added and it was called Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha.

[MorbidAngel4Life]

Kabuki Quantum Fighter.

and a cool game, too. hair whipping is awesome, and something you'd never see these days.

Hell yeah Kabuki Quantum Fighter is an awesome game! gotta love the hair whip! god you got me remeniscing about it. time to go play some NES.

Irritating Stick. One of the last examples of honesty in advertising.

I'm also partial to Chu Chu Rocket tho. ;)

[Rodimus]

Yes Irritating Stick. I must agree will get any customers attention, but when they look at the back of the case, they quickly put it down.

[drsuper23]

I'm surprised that noone has mentioned Final Fantasy.

[pete5883]

Star Ocean 3: Til the End of Time. Makes the game sound really significant, infinite, etc.

[Rodimus]

After FF2 it's not exactually a "Final Fantasy" is it.

[Moxio]

Devil May Cry was pretty mind-boggling.

[Amanda the Red Mage]

There's an old PC game (based on a story by the same name) called "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream." I've never played the game (or read the story, for that matter) but that has got to be the best title ever. I wish I had come up with it.

You should DEFINITELY read that story, ma'am. It's goddamn brilliant. I don't know how exactly they thought it would make a good game, but hey, I suppose there's worse stories they could've chosen...

die hard vendetta (gc) boogerman (genesis)

[Wlogan31]

boogerman is a great game...

[Wlogan31]

wlogan...i was going to say that too...i loved that game but couldn't get past the level with the underground worm things

I need to find this game and buy it and finally put those blasted worms to rest!

(I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do to kill them, could you?)

Base on the Harlan Ellison story of the same name.

http://www.bookrags.com/guides/mouthmustscream/

[eldad9]

This game was never actually completed, but:

"Attack of the Mutant Zombie Flesh Eating Chickens From Mars"

Ultimate (Rare's old name) had some nice titles:

Pssst
Cookie
Atic Atac
Alien 8

The castlevania games, on the other hand, have excessively silly names.

[Ben_F]

boogerman is a great game...
as for titles...

i always enjoyed zombies ate my neighbors (genesis)

Dammit someone beat me to boogerman: a pick and flick adventure.

pwnd. Just cant beat boogerman.

[Ikohn4ever]

that would be "Spy Muppets: License To Croak " anything with Kermit in a Tux on the cover is okay with me

[Wolas]

Kurushi; Um Lammer Jammy are cool

[Trakan]

Dirge of Cerberus

[Zenithian Legend]

How about "Random Six Month Bump" that's a pretty good game, eh Wolas?

I'll second How to Be a Complete Bastard, I loved that show (The Young Ones)

[Othergods]

what about Bible Adventures?Exactly what I was thinking.

Was this a Doom stile shooter where Noah had to put the animals to sleep or something or was that some other Non-Offical Nintendo Game?

[The_Continental]

I'm gonna have to go with "Tongue of the Fatman" on the Genesis.

http://www.gamespot.com/features/vgs/sat/segafight/page2.html

Great title.

[rockhero]

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

[feces faerie]

The castlevania games, on the other hand, have excessively silly names.
True, but Harmony of Dissonance was an accurate title for the music in that game.

I like Escape From the Planet of the Robot Monsters. Like the best B-movies, it's so bad, it's good. Phantasmagoria is good too.

Also River City Ransom always sounded good to me.

[secretvampire]

Irritating Stick for the PSX. Awesome title.

[scargums]

ive always been partial to the names of tom clancy games and "the journeyman project 2: buried in time"

but the real classics had truth in advertiseing like "duck hunt", "number munchers" and "where in the world is carmen sandiego?"
i mean, where in the world is she anyway?

but, by far the greatest name for a game ever is "duke nukem forever"
need i say more?

[diggityjones]

Nah, that was Super Noah's Ark 3D.

Another great one was "if it moves, shoot it"

Ha ha ha, my roommate was talking about that a couple weeks ago. He was said:

When I was a kid that game was real hard. I could never find Carmen Sandiego. All the other kids would be saying "oh look I found her" but I still couldn't ever find her. That kind of thing ruins a 5th grader's self-esteem. Oh well, I bet I could find her now.

[Journey]

I always liked Frog Bog.

It's so much fun to say......come on .....say it with me......FROOOOOOOOG BOOOOOOOG!!!!

They should make a game called Ginko Biloba.....I would buy that on name alone....go ahead.....you know you want to say it.

How about Leisure Suit Larry?

These are all great, but Resident Evil? That barely made sense for it to be the title of the 1st. The other games have almost nothing to do with a house so they couldn't be Residents. Also its just a lame name. Sorry, my 2 cents.

I dunno, even though a house isn't involoved in the others the Evil still um... resides...in town... Muwahahahah!! (man, that was lame)

Actually I thought the Resident in the title means the Evil that resides in the zombies and such but I see your point.

Biohazard sounds like a sewage line exploded to me.

Well, there's a thin line between awesome and stupid. Take, for example, that SNES shooter game who's name i forgot. The company figured that they did not want a stupid picture of some ship destroying monsters, so they took a picture of an old man with a banjo and a space ship flying by. If you see the picture, the game may look stupid, but it will definately catch your attention.

oh yeah, XIII, just because when it came out this lady walked into gamestop and asked for ecks eye eye eye.
