10 Games With Wrong Names

Dark Arcanine | November 14, 2008 | Pictures | PC Playstation 2 Misc

Jason Michaels of collegehumor.com has made quite the comical article indeed. Editing the cover art for certain games, he chose ten games to murder with puns.

Some of them are pointing out rather funny truths, others are just plain rude!

Meh, good editing work, but apart from that the names weren'te that funny. The San Andreas one, however- It's a better description of the game than "Grand Theft Auto". 8D

Yeah....

Well, some were a bit funny.

But not really.

Something like this was posted some time ago. Different boxart though.

What about:

"Playing With Dolls: It's COOL Now" for LBP? Bit long title though >_>

_{Blackfalcon not really. You don't murder prostitutes in the game as apart of the mission. You do that on your own accord. Grand Theft Auto still describes the game cause you steal cars and etc, hence grand theft auto.

Anyway im sorry but both the San Andreas and FF7 Advent Children is totally horrible.}

I'm saddened this didn't get as many laughs as I'd expected. The WoW one refers to how they live off it, Call of Duty one demonstrates how people have no lives playing it non stop and the FF characters are very female.

But each to their own, I mean there are a couple of other pics but I just chose my personal favourites.

  Ummm yeah, the meanings behind the new 'titles', is generally pretty easy to get.
  
  But that doesn't make it funny. That just makes it a somewhat descriptive title.
  
  @Stewie Yes, good editing work though, I agree.

    Puns are funny though, I guess when people rip on popular games people will just have a moan about it and say it's not funny.

      I don't care if the rip on any game?
      
      I just don't think they're funny titles, is all >_>

Yes, good editing work. I don't really see any really rude ones, but they are funny. Call Off Work 4, that's funny. World Of Weiners, not so funny. And the grand theft auto's new title makes the game make so much more sense by the title.

None of this is really funny; be it slapstick or satire comedic structure. Just seems like the writers impressions on the game..

Kinda pointless though...

  By me I hope you mean the people who did the article. I did not write the original article, just covered it with this one.
