Name and Shame

100 Examples of Dumb Video Game Titles!

Night Mode

We’ve already made separate lists of punny and sexually suggestive video game titles, but the games mentioned on this countdown are just plain dumb. There are any number of reasons why a game would be eligible for this list, so you can expect to see nonsensical words, random capitalization, redundant phrases, pretentious themes, b.a.d. a.c.r.o.n.y.m.n.s., and large quantities of word salad. I can’t even pronounce some of the entries on this list, and I’m starting to wonder if the developers didn’t simply mash their heads into their keyboards instead of coming up with something intelligible. It would impossible the rank these games in a meaningful way, so they’re simply being listed in alphabetical order. Let me know if there are any ones that I missed!
