Let's Have Some Pun!

This list looks at video games that use wordplay in their titles. Some of the entries on this list are witty or clever, while others are cheesy or downright groan-worthy. Puns are paradoxal in nature, however, so it can be argued that bad puns are actually the best puns. Since it’s impossible to rank puns in a meaningful way, the entries will simply be listed in alphabetical order. It should be noted that this list deals exclusively with G-rated puns, as there will likely be a separate list for suggestive video game titles in the future. Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the punniest names the wordsmiths in the video game industry have been able to come up with. Leave a comment below if you require further explanation for any the puns, and let me know if there are any punny video game titles that I missed.
