Biker Mice from Mars was a cartoon show.

Remember that Japaneese video game titles translated to english are very funny. Anyways.. it depends on the culture on what''s funny. Things named "samarai" and "ninja" are very strange to the japaneese culture.

"I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream"
"Zombies ate my Neighbors"
"Mario64" (it wasn''t the 64th game, since we''re ragging on sequal numbers)
"Excitebike" (I just never liked the name, no reason)

"I have no mouth and I must scream" is a GREAT title. Oh, and it was the name of a short story which became a game, by Ellison. It had a very interesting concept, if I remember correctly.

The Ward.

When I bought the game I thought of images of sinister hospital wards, weird operating theatres, and dank celar laboratories. Wouldn''t you?

What I did not think of was a shitty arse character who is called "the ward" for absolutely no f***ing reason.

Plus the game itself sucked arse, and I really mean that. Of all my games, from the great to the boring to the fairly-irritating-but-playable, this is one of only two that I thought badly enough of to destroy violently with a hammer and chisel before getting rid of all traces and getting back to lamenting the money shaped hole in my personal effects, and cursing the game''s publishers, designers, and everyone they''ve ever met.

One of my friends has plans to make a game called "WinLay"...''nuff said.

If you''re going to rag on bad guy names, "Big Boss" from the Metal Gear games has to take the cake. How can you not burst out laughing when Solid and Liquid talk in all seriousness about their dad as "Big Boss"? The game just seems EXTREMELY goofy at those moments .

Max Payne is the corniest name ever.

are you talking about this "The Ward":
http://www.gamezone.com/gamesell/p17226.htm

anyway it was aptly named. one of the definitions of ward is:
"The state of being under guard; custody."

so prisoners are a ward of the prison in which they are held. hence people who run the prisoners and guard the prisoners are wardens....

in the game "The Ward" you are held hostage by aliens, hence you are their ward. and since you are the main character it makes sense to name it "The Ward", yes?

heh, sorry. no offence meant, sometimes i just go crazy and look shit up...

Hello Kitty''s Cube Frenzy

Why is this so bad? Hello Kitty is a character name, and the game was a puzzle game involving cubes.

Uh, but it was on the Nintendo 64.

And how are "Solid" and "Liquid" any less goofy?

How about "Bad Dudes" for the NES?
or a sequel to Final Fight: "Final Fight Guy"
