Game names that could mean something else completely

16 games just crying out for a Photoshop job

Words: Justin Towell on September 26, 2008

It's that moment where you're telling your girlfriend about this great game called Metal Slug and all she can picture is a gleaming, metallic slimey thing. Welcome to the world of game names that really could mean something else entirely.

And while we could have just pointed out a few names and poked fun at them, we've gone the extra mile and made fake boxart for them too.

Above: Can you defeat the evil Dr Pellet?

Above: Now with sepia photo mode

Above: Thumbs in the air!

Above: No frills. No stupid letter collecting. Just skate

Above: Body of a wolf. Brain of a serial killer

A lot of these must be British-oriented humor, because I didn't understand most of them. Like the Crossing was obviously British-related. But it made me laugh, i know my compliment makes the creator explode with joy and accomplishment.
