Check out the finest examples of what happens when you let executives and the marketing department name your game.

Some of those are just too funny. My favorites by far are:

Wild Woody

I just figured out my porn star name.

Beyond the Beyond

Way past the far out.

Sticky Balls

Pass the vaseline.

Booby Kids

I dare you to squeeze their cheeks.

I think George Bush gets these.

Gundam, spam, eggs, and gundam.

I'm a bit surprised they didn't mention KKnD: Krush Kill 'n Destroy, a Red Alert klone set in a post-apokalyptik setting where two faktions, humans and mutants, battle for kontrol over the most precious resource - oil. Besides having what is possibly the dumbest name in the history (personally I don't know what's more irritating - the name itself or the retarded spelling), it also features some exceptionally moronic unit designs, like scorpions - pardon, skorpions - and elephants with mounted gun turrets (now you know where Bourgeoisie designers got their inspiration... heh heh...). It was designed by Australians, in case you're wondering.
 
the list is very incomplete & honnestly, there are a lot of bad games no one heard of, luckily.

anyhow, they should've put some more tangiable (sp?) restrictions on it. a revenue criteria would've been nice.

Oi, I liked KKnD. Y'know, the demo. When I was 8 or so. Because I got it for free...
Oh, all right.

I doubt that Winning Eleven 5 is actually, y'know, bad, since that series is the same as the Pro Evolution Soccer series and those have been at the top of the football games for several years now.
 
Not all the games on the list suck, though most do.

I just remembered something: when I first heard of Fallout (in 1996, I think), I thought it would suck. I didn't really know what the word "Fallout" meant and wondered how any game that is presumably named after something that falls out of someplace can possibly be any good.
 
My favourite:
Divine Divinity

You can say that again

It's game titles like this that I blame for games not being taken seriously by mainstream media. I mean, Wargasm?
 
That's bullshit and you know it.

There have been movies and books with equally bad and worse titles.
 
In fact, I'm almost certain there's a porno named Wargasm (or should be)...

And at least Divine Divinity was a pretty good game. But yea, the name certainly needs work.
 
They've got James Pond: Robocod in there? That's a great game, and the title is AWESOME. AWESOME I SAY!
 
I was glad to see Irritating Stick at number 1, thats the game my friends and I always have referenced as an example of stupid naming. I mean who puts the word "Irritating" in the title of anything?
 
The name of this thread is worst video game names, not worst video games.

I googled wargasm, and it looks like there is a band called wargasm, I wonder what came first, the band or the game :D.

There is an SNES game called BALLZ 3D haha
 
I heard Wargasm actually wasn't that bad.

EDIT: Totally Rad. What the hell is that game even about?
 
Rad? As in the German word for "wheel"?

Wow, they really put some thought in that name then.

Unless they didn't know this in advance.
 
Awesome Possum Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt!

Here's a dialogue snippet: Awesome Possum: "I'm awesome!"
Dr. Machino: "You’re not so awesome!"

Congrats, game developers of yore. I've lost all faith in humanity.
