View Full Version : The Game Name Game
Imagine you're in charge of a games company and you've got a reasonable budget. You're allowed to make what you like, on any platform, etc., but with only one condition. You've been given a name for your game and your game MUST be about it.
So what's the best ideas you could come up?
I'll go first. I'll come up with a name for a game, and you all pitch in with ideas, storyline, what it would be about, etc. Anything about it at all counts. After a while, I'll decide what I think is the best, and then the winner gets to play "host", deciding the winner from there, and so on. If you win but don't want to come up with a name, then first person to come up with one gets to be "host" instead.
So the name to start off with is:
Extreme Electric Wheelchair Drag Racer 6 : Nitro
I'm going to base this not only on the best idea, but making a funny one would help as well.
Get brainstorming! Remember, the more terrible the name, the better!

Hehe this is a fun idea...
Extreme Electric Wheelchair Drag Racer 6 : Nitro
well you start off with a stock standard wheelchair, with no trimmings, after winning each race, (which you gotta hit enter repeatedly to move your arms to spin the wheels...)
you earn sponsors, to give you cash, to upgrade the wheelchair...
you could choose from the bottom of the range... Wooden wheelchair...
(weak) to a steel wheelchair (heavy) to a stainless steel wheelchair (lighter)
to an aluminium wheelchair. (very light)
and finally moving onto a carbon fibre wheelchair... (the ultimate in speed / luxury )
You can also get different type of treads, on different wheels, depending on the weather or drag strip... (yes there will be a working 24 hour weather system.)
and during the upgrade you can move onto electric systems, so you dont use your arms to spin the wheels...
there will also be a custom paint kit... to totally PIMP your wheelchair... Neon lights, vinyls etc...
then you can upgrade to nitro support, with insane WHEELIE action... (gotta have a blur effect)
becoming the worlds number 1 Wheelchair drag racing pro... LOL!! :) :) :) :) :)
You play as a disabled person, racing in an electronic wheelchair, in drag races against fully-powered, souped-up cars. To win, you have to find a way to cut through the entire track by going off-course so that you can still come first despite having a considerably slower 'vehicle' than the other racers. Keeping in mind that just crashing into something once will turn your character into bloody pulp!
The first few levels would be open, then progressing to be in a woodland and having to dodge trees, and then onto open roads where you can get run over by any incoming traffic. Including huge trucks! Weeeeeeee!
Also, next time you should choose a vaguer, shorter title.

hey plasma, i dont think you understand what DRAG racing means...
a single straight track....
I liked some of your idea's though.
hey plasma, i dont think you understand what DRAG racing means...
a single straight track....
Oh.
Well then, lets say it happens to be in Antartica, and just so happens to nearly go the entire way around horizontally, so that the disabled person has to go backwards.
Judging by the amount of people that (apparently) live in Antartica, I think it's safe to say that there are a lot of cities there!

So the name to start off with is:
Extreme Electric Wheelchair Drag Racer 6 : Nitro
Epic fantasy RPG about the trials of a band of anthropomorphic root vegetables trying to retrieve the Shakespeare Blade from the mythical TOMATOR - fruit of peril!
Or, possibly, an electric wheelchair racing game.

Burnout, but with wheelchairs. And lots of Wacky Hospital-Weapons!
Also, next time you should choose a vaguer, shorter title.
Actually, you're right. Although I think there's still a lot that could be done with that title if you want to get really daft about it.
Anyway, you can choose a better title because I proclaim you the winner. Although your entry wasn't strictly accurate, it was more the sort of thing I was looking for.
Don't forget, you'll be choosing the next winner too. And feel free to add a rule or something if you wish.
Hmm... how about this:
Antartic Defence
This should be interesting...

SYNOPSIS:
You are the best in the world. You are trained beyond belief. Your instincts honed, your abilities sharpened. You are...a polar bear. Will you fight to defend your home, or will you perish in your icy grave?
FEATURES:
Death-defying stunts! Ride a sinking iceberg, dig under the ice and grab your victims from the underground! Use the Blades of Chaos and unleash your wrath on Ares' minions!
Intense nonstop action! There's never a dull moment in Antarctic Defense! Whether you are fighting evil ice monsters, devouring humans, or just plain grinding, you can be sure that there is always an enemy around!
The trees grow with you! You start as a young cub and must rescue your sister. As you grow, you will be able to see the environment grow with you! If you've killed everyone in a city as a cub, when you become a bear, it will not be there!
Choose your alignment! You can become an evil and notorious villain that slaughters everyone in his sight and have horns growing out of your head and flies buzzing around you, amazed at the sight of your red aura under your feet. Or you can become a hero that saves civilians from all kinds of dangers, and have a halo above your head with flowers growing wherever you step.
Children! As a polar bear, you can have relations with other bears and have kids! Your kids will follow you and you can train them to be anything you'd like! This is all possible in Fable Antarctic Defense!
Antarctic Defense is a game where you play as an army penguin in his base.
All is calm when suddenly you are attacked by mad polar bears!
You must defend yourself from these crazed animals by building my different types of towers to kill these nutters!
Twenty waves of increasing difficulty, 6 different types of polar bear, all with different attributes including bosses which are the leaders of the colonies! Defeat all the waves and kill off the species forever!
Good luck, seargent!
Okay. Before it causes any more confusion:
Polar bears are not native to Antartica!
You play a young lad, growing up in some village in the antartic [sic], and life is great, until the local bully decides to make you a target.
In the beginning, you have to construct snow forts to shield yourself from his snowball attacks, but as the game progresses, the technology level increases and you have to start building big metal bunkers to defend from the ongoing flamethrower assault. As the bully slowly morphs into an evil genius with a thirst for destruction, you eventually have to save the entire village using nothing but a fort created from Lego to hold back an entire gunship squadron.
The final climax results in building a forcefield constructed using only a large supply of toffee and a chicken vindaloo around the planet to protect the world from nuclar missile's launched from the bully's private spaceship.
Oh, and polar bears! Yeah!

In this rip off of Age of empires, you must defend your homebase of hordes of mutant zombie peguins, while you upgrade your base, and expand it, creating new weapons and tools as the flamethrower, the beardozer, magnifying lens, and many more. As the game developes, you discover the existence of other bases, and you might try to defeat them, or ally them, or play as the penguins on an epic twist of the story, leading the army with squeky the first, one of the few mutant non-zombie penguins. At the end, Sonic and Robotnik join forces to defeat a bigger enemy.
Okay. Before it causes any more confusion:
Polar bears are not native to Antartica!
Plasma, who says games have to make sense?
Heeh! Melon's one is definitely winning.

antartic defence....
You are a penguin hell bent on destruction, for generations, your people (umm penguins) lived happily and alone, feeding on fish and swimming happily along, until.... Man arrived...
Man and his badass shotguns, trying to make a nice Handbag out of your ass.
So its time to fight back...
Slowly but surely man has infiltrated your territory, and in true penguin style...(Splinter Cell) You go commando to take them out...
Be it your super beak pinch attack... or your spinning uppercut of gondor.
Man will regret ever making your family into a Handbag collection...
In an Xcom styled map, you must conquer each territory until Antartica is all in your control...
Just be sure to keep it cool, or else you might just frenzy...(blood rayne)
Even a penguin has got to understand his beast within....
Umm yeah... LOL.
Well, this has gone on long enough. I say Melon wins this one!

Pirates
Rar
Splinter is right, this game is about Pirates. Rar. But that's not all!
The Cavern of Treason
.. is an action-adventure role playing game with a diverse and dynamic set of charecters who's agenda is different every time you play the game (It will put Mass Effect's dialoge and character system to shame). You play as a young lad who's joined the English navy in 1692 on a mission to protect trade ships passing the Carribean, because adventure at sea has called for you all your life. After an intense battle when intersecting and understimating a pirate ship, the navy ship you are on is destroyd. You miraciausly survive however and wash to shore at a lively port and trading hub. This is where the game begins. Half way around the world from your home in Dullshire England, you decide to explore this new world of pirates and scumbags.
You soon hear word of there beeing treassure, but you need help, since the way there is riddled with danger and stuff! So you scout out a crew and set off. The treassure is in The Cavern of Treason, and the reason it's called that is because the treassure is so grand that greed will overcome most people. As I mentioned, you never know who's going to be a traitor or not because of the dynamic character agenda system. And it will be important because you will invest trust into different charecters or something like that too keep the system working ;) =P
More features: Amazing "This Gen Graphics!", Great voice acting, stuff, and even MORE STUFF! Pre-order today!

Yes, your name really did suck that bad. I did say vague, but I didn't mean that vague. We at least need something to work with, while all yours had was 'cavern'.

Well seeing as noone else has started a new one...
Here is my game name.... Hospital Heroes!
Paul.Power
9 Nov 2007, 12:15
Visions of the opening video of Theme Hospital flit across my imagination...
You control a squad of doctors and nurses in a hospital. Unfortunately, outside citizens have become infected with an incredibly deadly and incredibly contagous virus. Unfamiliar with the virus, they heard for their local hospital to be check out, unaware that the virus will pass on to everyone else in the hospital. You must tactfully use your heroic squad to perform mercy killings on each and every infected person who attempts to enter the building, lest you doom them all!
Last boss is fighting against the grim reaper!
Hospital Heroes
You control three superhero-doctors at once, traveling in a group and you switch between which one you are controlling so you can use that perticular doctor's abilities, The three doctors in each team are organised into three types, Speed, Power and Fligh- well, actually, I think I'll replace that one with something else like...hmm...CilitBang! Yeah, that's it.
So each team that you can choose from is divided into Speed, Power and CilitBang.
The actual gameplay is third-person 3d action platformer, you whiz through hospital environments at high speed through death-defying stunts and loop-de-loops as you try to reach the next ward in the hospital where a patient is in need.
The storyline would be something along the lines of an evil scientist has revived an old enemy, a shape-shifting metal version of the game's protagonist, and the Doctors have 3 days until he unleashes it upon their hospital and causes chaos, plunging the NHS into further crisis.
NOTE: All similairities to Sonic Heroes are entirely coincidental

Hospital Heroes
You control a group of heroes with great hospitality! Help tourists enjoy the sights and travel to other countries as help the citizens enjoy the sights as well! Give the tourists a place to live, cook for them, do their laundry, loan money to them, and of course, take them out for a night in Paris/New York/Wherever! The best part is, you don't really get anything out of it but a sense of good citizenship. Oh, and you pretty much lose $2-10,000 being hospitable.
Hospital Heroes
Tired of saving the world and looking for a break, Superman, Batman and Spiderman decide to work in their local hospital for heroes and supervillains, looking for a change of pace. The three superheroes have to help solve a variety of tasks including diagnosing the form of acne on the face of the Invisible Man, giving the Hulk anger management advice, and removing an appendix from the Thing.
Each of the three playable characters have their own unique skills. Batman can utilise a variety of gadgets and a gay sidekick. Spiderman can climb on walls and fire sticky webs, but is weak to comically oversized fly-swats. Superman can do everything.
A range of mini-games is included, including the old favourite of filling out pages and pages of paperwork.
Hmmm... seeing as HackerMan is temporarily banned, he won't be able to choose a winner. I guess I'll do it, and I won't choose myself, seeing how I'm incapable of coming up with decent names for this game.

It's a racing game that takes place in planet earth, located in the Milky Way galaxy. You have to move from point A to point B (around 1km each track)to win.
You actually move in a small part of the galaxy, so I find it apropiate.

ADVENTURE ACROSS THE GALAXY
It's one of the biggest free roam games ever made!
the top 5 reasons you should buy this game:
5. the galaxy is your limits, that and your oxygen tank, so don't let that run out.:o
4. Fight off space all kinds of weirdoes like space pirates, blorgian snoggles, midget zombies, tusken raiders (this part was taken out because of copyright problems)
3. make your own character, and if they don't have the right choices, then you can puch the maker of this game right in the face. then again, there would probably be a draw function, but the first choice is better
2. It's got space gadgets that you won't be able to see in real life until you're 195 years old and dying from a heart attack.
1. and best of all, it's got cool pilot chairs like you've never seen before.:D
Oh, and there's a part were you get to fight luke skywalker! darn copyrights! :mad:
you can get your copy of adventure across the galaxy for only $1000000000. yes, that's right only..... HOLY SH** how did I afford to make this!:eek:

Look at you still talking when there's science to do. When you look out there does it make you GLaD you're not...me?
Still Alive in the Second Person is difficult.
I still love my entry for it.
I've memorized the lyrics for the entire song:
This was a triumph
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
Aperture science
we do what we must because we can
for the good of all of us
except the ones who are dead
But there's no sense crying over every mistake
you just keep on trying till you run out of cake
and the science gets done and we make a neat gun
for the people who are still alive
I'm not even angry
i'm feeling so sincere right now
even though you broke my heart and killed me
and blew me to pieces
and threw every piece into a fire
as they burned it hurt because
i was so happy for you
now these words of data make a beautiful line
and we're out of beta we're releasing on time
so i'm GLaD, i got burned
think of all the things we learned
for the people who are still alive
go ahead and leave me
I think i'd prefer to stay inside
maybe you'll find someone else to help you
maybe Black Mesa
that was a joke, HA HA FAT CHANCE!
anyway, this cake is great
it's so delicious and moist
look at me still talking when there's science to do
when I look at there it makes me GLAD I'M NOT YOU
I've experiments to run
there is research to be done
on the people who are still alive
Oh believe me, I am still alive
I'm doing science and i'm still alive
I feel FANTASTIC and i'm still alive
while you're dying i'll be still alive
and when you're dead i will be still alive
EDIT: Rob Balder made a Mario spoof called "Still Annoyed" (http://www.thefump.com/fump.php?id=149)
...and on that bombshell, let's get back on topic.
Adventure Across the Galaxy
A scrolling shooter where you're in a space ship fighting aliens while flying past planets to pick up fuel.
