My buddies and often makeup nicknames for our favorite games. We started by calling Castlevaina "Skeleton Whipper" and it just blew up from there. Seldom in casual conversation with my friend Steve do I refer to a game by the title the creators intended for it. I know it's stupid and immature but here's some we thought up in case anyone cares.
Grand Theft Auto Vice City- Hooker Killer 64
Tony Hawk Pro Skater- Bone Breaker 64
Super Mario 64- Bad Italian Accent Land
Metal Gear Solid 2- Super Neck Snapper
Call of Duty- Adventures of Emiliano Zapata (named after Captain Price's mustache)
The Sims- Super My Boring Life
Super Mario Bros- Super Turtles Killer
Pokemon- Just use Psychic
50 Cent Blood on the Sand- Suspender Needer 64
Resident Evil- Master of Unlocking
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)- Super Break Dancer
Shenmue- Super Sailor Finder
Madden 2010- Super Roster Updater
Battletoads- Super Masochist 64
Final Fantasy VI- Super Self Help Book
Final Fantasy VII- Super Compensating for Something with that Sword
Final Fantasy VIII- Super Angst Haver
I'm well aware that none of these are particularly funny or clever for that matter. Do you have any nicknames for games that are funny or clever? I'm sure they'd have to be better then mine.

Re: Video Game Nicknames
Nothing clever from my way.
"You up for Nsyncfan?" - How my friends and I played horse on THPS.
"JACKAL SQUAD!!!" - My best friend's war call when he wants to play Jackal on the nes
"Beauty and the Beast?" -When my buddy Paulie wants to play SF2, Chun-Li vs. Blanka
"Dram Drag?"- This is my former roommate's way of asking me if I want to play Bad Dudes.

I know I had some silly names with friends for certain games in the past, but I can't remember them right now.

Not quite the same thing, but still silly made up names... my brother and I once came up with a whole bunch of names for Star Wars themed snack products that we wanted to market (not that we could ever get the rights to use the names). Here's some of the ones I remember:
Darth Tater Tots
Jabba, the Nuts!
C3POatmeal
R2DSoup
Yoda Soda
Boba Feta Cheese
Wookie Cookies
Ham Solo
...and for the 18 and older crowd: Chewbacco

Re: Video Game Nicknames
I have no video game nick names, but I do have one movie nick name: I call Ratatouille the eating channel, because the movie is so constantly talking about food and the eating of it.

Whenever one of the Dudes says "I'm Bad!" at the end of a level, my room mate would always comment, "sounds like they are saying Dram Drag".Hobie-wan wrote:Not getting this one.Luke wrote:"Dram Drag?"- This is my former roommate's way of asking me if I want to play Bad Dudes.
