I always preferred the sequel name "The Reckoning". It truly goes with everything.

God of War 2: The Reckoning.
Alien Vs Predator 2: The Reckoning.
Street Fighter 2: The Reckoning.
Super Smash Bros 2: The Reckoning.

It just fits, no matter what.

That almost works. Then, you think of Ness and Lucas and it just feels wrong.

Yeah, that 'Fast Five' thing through me for a loop. Seriously? That's the best you could come up with? Then again, 'Fast & Furious' isn't exactly a great sequel name either.

Me, personally, I'd have gone with '5o Fast 5o Furious'. Or maybe 'Fast & Furiou5'. Those are names that wouldn't make eyes roll at all.
