Look at these Preposterously Long Videogame Titles!

They always say that the best way to title something is to follow three rules: 1) Short. The most memorable titles are usually on the shorter side. 2) Evocative. Best-selling titles are often evocative and contain compelling wordplay and imagery. 3) Memorable and unique. A good-book-title should be both memorable and unique. Now take those instructions and throw it away apparently because NONE of the games on this list have titles that are anything other than a huge mess of word salad. How any of these can be remembered is beyond me!

Kids, don’t eat your Halloween candy without having your parents inspect it first because there are SICKOS out there who will put RAZOR BLADES in it and you will CUT YOUR MOUTH and GET A POISONED INFECTION and DIE, all from eating your candy early. So don’t do that.

Note: This is a slightly edited version of an article I posted on a now-defunct gaming website called Gamrfeed (in around 2010) that I wrote, as with some of this videogame-related stuff I am posting it again to preserve it. I always figure that some of this could be of some value to my new readers.
