    Alone In The Dark: Inferno "Hey look! We remade a crappy game... but now it has a cool subtitle!"

    I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but what about Halo:Combat Evolved? Great game, but I would hardly call its particular kind of combat "evolved", it was just a great shooter. Besides, who EVER uses the subtitle when they're talking about Halo anyway?

    Man this is the greatest article on GR you guys rock!! “Yeah, so I was playing X-Men on my 360, and there was this one part where I had to kill…” “Woah, wait a damn minute there buddy. You mean to tell me you were playing a DVD copy of X-Men, the film, or do you mean you were playing X-Men: The Official Game? Clarify that shit!” That had me rofl'ing for 10 minutes straight, keep up the good work.

    Oops I stand corrected. Atleast we both agree the subtitle is lame.

    Yes, a regular accent is '^' but the game's title, as far as I can discern, uses 'Λ'.

    Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock yeah, slash and tom morello appear, and then because the developer doesnt seem to know anymore, they just shoved Satan in there for good measure.

    Sly 2: Band of thieves Like the first game didn't already tell us that...

    Gauntlet: Dark Legacy according to the dictionary legacy means an amount of money or property left to someone in a will. So did you inherit cursed money? Debt? A really rundown house?

    o and one more Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition lol

  • skyguy343 - February 6, 2009 9:07 p.m.

  • Gsindahouse - March 19, 2009 9:11 p.m.

  • Gsindahouse - March 19, 2009 9:10 p.m.

    Dude, I'm in the library and am on the verge of bursting out laughing! TylerWilde you're Freakin Hilarious! I'm gonna look for your name before I read it, cause that one there was just WAAAY too funny, seriously

    Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast Well frankly you're welcome warmly back into the Jedi temple, I really don't see when you were Outcast. Nor does the game really have much to do with Jedi in the first place.

    I’m surprised the Castlevania games didn't get a mention with subtitles like 'The Dracula X Chronicles', is the X a 10 or is the game about Dracula’s eX employee or eX - girl/boy friend? Probably because X looks cool. How about 'Harmony of Dissonance', dissonance has many meanings such as harsh sound, lack of appropriateness or disagreement - which would be a contradiction when used with the word harmony.

    Regarding Space Rangers 2:Reboot; totally agree, whomever came up with the ridiculous 'reboot' concept should be taken out back and shot. Sounds stupid, looks stupid, is stupid. As in the Batman and Terminator series being 'rebooted'. LAME!

  • MacGyver1138 - February 9, 2009 8:20 p.m.

    I think some subtitles are added just to make a catchy acronym (e.g. World at War=WOW, Warhammer: Age of Reckoning=WAR, etc.) Also, is "this ain't rocket surgery," becoming a popular phrase now? An article at Cracked.com used it in the last week or so.

    LOL:"Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice – Did you mean to say "injustice"?" I am pretty sure they mean diarrhea.

  • idlemindkiller - February 9, 2009 5:52 p.m.
