The Video Game Critic

If I'm going to do a list of the worst game titles, I might as well do a best-of list also!

Here are a few candidates off the top of my head.

Mortal Kombat
Quest for the Rings
Double Dragon
Crash Bandicoot
Choplifter

Let's hear your suggestions.

Power Factor
Duke Nukem
Metal Slug
Fatal Fury
Magician Lord
Thunder Castle
Locomotion
Midnight Resistance
Boom Blox

That's all I've got, but I think those are great names.

Ninja Baseball Batman is unquestionably the best title of anything ever.

The best ones are usually simple yet memorable...

Excitebike
Castlevania
Bump 'N Jump
Dig Dug
Frogger
Pitfall
Ghosts 'N Goblins
Road Rash

No More Heroes
Let It Die
Until Dawn
DOOM

I'll try to think of more

Q*Bert
A Mind Forever Voyaging
The Worm in Paradise
Metroid
Leisure Suit Larry
Clash at Demonhead
River City Ransom
Shadow of the Beast
Another World
Battletoads
Alone in the Dark
The Steel Empire
The Chaos Engine
Myst
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Beneath a Steel Sky
Rise of the Triad
Twisted Metal
The Neverhood
PO'ed
No One Can Stop Mr. Domino!
Grim Fandango
Crazy Taxi
Fatal Frame
Sexy Hiking
Jets 'n' Guns
The World Ends with You
Braid
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People
Too Human
Broken Age

My favorite is probably Shadow of the Beast, weak as the actual game is.

I think I want to put Communist Mutants From Outer Space on this list.
It's just so "out there".

As for legitimately good titles I think Pitfall and Hydro Thunder might qualify.

Attack of the Mutant Camels (C64)

And I've always thought Altered Beast and Shadow Dancer sound cool.

Zombies ate my neighbors
Plumbers don't wear ties*
