I think any game with the word simulator in is not good it just does not sound like a fun game,sounds closer to work than a game.

eg http://www.microsoft.com/games/pc/trainsim.aspx

just looking at that makes me feel grim.

"Beyond Good and Evil" is a pretty cool title too.

Ryu ga Gotoku is probably the most badass sounding video game title I can think of right now.

I love the Resident Evil series but that title just makes no damn sense. I don't see what was wrong with just calling it Bio Hazard. I suppose it suits the game quite well though since it's one of the cheesiest ones out there. The original live action intro still gets me every time.

yeah I actually like the RE title BECAUSE it's cheesy. I mean, as a tribute to b-movie horror, its' a pretty perfect title.

It's not any game title, but by doing youtube searches for stuff I've found that adding "genesis" to the beginning of any game title instantly makes it sound badass.

The only reason RE isn't called Biohazard was because the trademark for the original title was already taken in the US.

Deus Ex is a great game name. So is Metal Gear Solid, although it doesn't make that much sense.
