Haha yeah, that's a great one. On a similar pun basis:

 

Enter the Gungeon.

The Letter V Six Times

 

One capital 'A' followed by four lower-case 'a's, followed by two capital 'A's and three lower-case 'a's, and so on without any spaces until you get one lower-case 'a' and five capital 'A's. Then three exclamation marks and a dash: A Reckless Disregard for Gravity

 

Not quite as concise.

I always think "Enter the Gungeon" will be about a brave crew of adventurers trying to avoid getting slimed.

[Qazimod]

It's hard to find wholesome pics of this because the actual game appears to be full of anime Cringe Knockers™, but I admire the summation of human existence found in "Dead or School":

 

[Lyrical Donut]

That's amazing.

That's my kind of pedantry. Not just old-school, but ancient-school. School of David Ahl...

'Bat Rider' or 'Bat Ruder'? Both are great, but it should really be 'Bat Ruder: Armed Police'

[Petrousgyre]

Sins of a Solar Empire

 

Best name for a game ever.

In a similar vein House Of A Dying Sun.

[deerokus]

They Are Billions. 

[Made of Ghosts]

Resident Evil

[Darwock]

Best game name is probably Jet Set Willy.

 

So many games are named after their characters though, so technically those aren't great game titles I suppose. I would also vote for Parappa the Rapper as an all time great. I wonder if the title was the first thing they thought of, and the game followed after.

I'll raise you:

 

(Except Sir Daniel was a pretty nice, dead bloke; not evil at all).

Good shout and nice reminder. And of course, the game's theming and artistic direction is just as if not more incongruous (and amazing lol).
