The Worst Words Used for Video Game Titles, Ranked

People who name video games are bad at it. Really bad. I mean…Anthem? Really?

October 4, 2017

I hate video game titles, and they often times are a reason people probably don’t think they are legitimate forms of entertainment/art. They get titled like movies, and toys, and I hate it. I hate it so much that I made a list of the best words used to name video games, from best to worst. I do not care if your favorite game has one of the words at the bottom of the list, this is just a comedy ranking of overused and ridiculous words that need to stop appearing on the front of boxes. Seriously, cut that shit out, video game industry.
