One area that I find often doesn't get the attention it deserves is the actual names of video games, so I thought why not have a thread where we can talk about our favorite games actual names. Stuff that just rolls off the tongue. For me, I've always liked the sound of Alundra. It just flows nicely and seems to get me in the mood for an adventure. Another would be Jade Cocoon mostly because they're two words I'd never thought I'd see together, but they seem to work. Banjo Kazooie the name just drips of fun. Infinite Space just seems like such an apt title for a game about a kid that wants to head off into the cosmos. Leisure Suit Larry because any game that references leisure suits is a-okay in my books. ![]() How about you guys? What's your favorite actual games' names?

Persona, I just love the name of this one, and also it happens to be one of my favorite videogames/films. Oblivion, I like the word itself outside of the game's context to the name. Psychonauts, but a really interesting and unique name. Zone of the Enders, likewise, cool name Popolocrois, rolls with the tongue |

Anarchy Reigns: Such a badass name in my opinion. "Chaos Rules" (If you take a couple of synonyms). The name looks to fit the game as far as I can tell from the trailers, with nothing but brawling madness ![]() Halo: Such a central piece of the game's universe which you don't find out until later on in the game. Mass Effect: Like Halo, it's just a big part of the mythos. Pokemon: Because it's pokemon. I'm sure I could think of a lot more, but those are the few that came off the top of my head. |

Battlefield: It's the most honest no BS name of a game outside of the sports genre IMO. You see the name, and you know what you get. Fable: It's the essence of a fantasy universe, a good fable. LittleBigPlanet: I don't know why exactly, but that name is so f'ing awesome to my ears

I'd never thought about that before with Battlefield, but that's really good point! |

You know, Minecraft made me roll my eyes when I first heard of the name. We popular franchises like Starcraft and Warcraft, right? |

The World Ends With You and Shadow of the Colossus both come to mind of my favorite game titles. As for ones I like because they just sound crazy/ridiculous are Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (which apparently is pronounced "Three-Hundred Fifty Eight Days Over Two"), Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy (Duodecim? Really?), and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. Leave it to Square-Enix to come up with ridiculous-sounding names. But I love them regardless. |

Shadow of the Colossus - As soon as you say it all these images of epic boss battles come into your mind and then you buy it and the game doesn't disappoint. That's what happened for me at least. |
