Top 5 Worst Video Game Names
There have been some truely terrible names put forward for some games. Even now, in modern and more sophisticated times naming errors still continue. For example Nintendo's latest console will be called the Wii (pronounced wee), which genius thought of that?A few of my favourites also include the incredibly generic 'If It Moves, Shoot It!' (PC 1989), followed closely by the bizzare 'Irritating Stick'(PlayStation 1999), I can only guess at what the game is about, and what peripherals came with it. On to my Top 5:
1. Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf (NES 1988)
2. Ninja Hamster (Commodore 64, Amstrad 1987)
3. Sticky Balls (Gizmondo 2005)
4. Beyond the Beyond (PlayStation 1999)
5. Tongue of the Fatman (PC 1989)
Doesn't 'Tongue of the Fatman' just sound like a porn film? And not a particularly nice one at that. Who would buy this game? Which sick marketer came up with that name? I bet it also came with some kind of tongue controller you had to wiggle, or better yet a motion senstive clip you had to attach to your tongue, so you could wiggle your own tongue to control the game! Suddenly this doesn't sound like such a bad idea.
