The 30 dumbest videogame titles ever

Xenctuary | April 01, 2008 | Blog | Misc 
Crave UK covers thirty of the silliest game titles ever thought up. The list encompasses everything from the just plain wrong ("Touch Dic", anyone?) to the just plain boring (such as the excitingly named "Bus Driver").

Highlights include "Leisure Suit Larry 3: Passionate Patti in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals" and "GOLF Magazine Presents 36 Great Holes Starring Fred Couples".
Without videogames, many of us would have lives, children and permanent jobs. They're terrific ways to forget that in real-life, like gardens, commitments require regular attention. They can't all be glorious, action-packed tours de force, however -- many videogames are nothing more than half-baked rejects, the 'D' students of the electronic world.

But these particular 30 dunces weren't merely bad -- they were never given a chance at success because they suffered epic fails from the moment their titles were conceived. A truly abysmal name might strangle a game's chances, but it's prime chuckle material and we've lassoed two-and-a-half dozen for your rib-tickling pleasure.

      It's a dictionary title, the "Touch" part referring to the Nintendo DS touchscreen.
