My current project is named Breach:Awakening. These two words have no significance to each other, or at least it appears that way. Within the context of the story, though, they make perfect sense. Seeing as the game page opens with a blurb from the intro about some kind of accident at an important facility, and I detail that there is demon capturing/summoning, someone should be able to put together that there is a breach in something (containment, perhaps?), and that something (that was being contained, maybe?) is waking up and that this is probably not a good thing!
My on again, off again western? "Way of the Gun"
My on again, off again cyberpunk thing? "Cybernoir" (okay, that one I kind of phoned in)
I do a lot of eye-rolling at some of the names here, and to be honest it has nuked my interest in a few games. Your game's name should be like its handshake? If your game met a bunch of other games at a party, would they all laugh about your game's name behind its back? Maybe that should be the litmus test for game name insanity.
I think "Breach:Awakening"and "Cybernoir" aren't bad game names. Though I think there are quite a few "Way of the Gun"s out there...

This pretty much sums up how I feel about names...

Either you have to have all sorts of made up names or keep in one sort of theme/genre of names. It's actually pretty hard taken the former path, making up names that sound good and appealing but that aren't actual names.

author=SamuraiTsundereauthor=MarrendLOL that sounds like a hentai pornfest for masochists XD
Names are but labels Men put on things they do not understand.
Though, now that people are mentioning game names, Asylum of Pleasure and Pain sounds like something I want to stay as far away from as inhumanly possible.
I expected you people to speak about that title over here.XD!!!
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Rate the name: Iniquity and Vindication
My game's name is Tundra. Pretty short, sweet and to the point; it's about a world that's turning to ice.
Characters are a bit of a mixed bag, but I've tried to stay relatively consistent with naming conventions depending on where in the world the character came from. To wit:
Giya Vantana
Guile Sesanya
Zach Branalet
Sirius Dracken
Vandalis Olaron
Caderiniel Theallan
Katrina Aridania
Melissa de Vrie
Tyrias Magamei
Madriol Garamon
Narcissa Dreelet
Baruch Volto
Deji Narise

this helpful guide to ensure your game NEVER gets players! :D"
"Mix any of the following endings to any of your game titles to get the PERFECT names:
-Garden
-Princess/Prince
Someone here begs to differ.
To be honest it all depends on the content of the game and the way you present it. Titles CAN be direct. And it also depends on the tone of your story. I guess.

Yeah, generally have an adjective and a noun, put them together to describe your game.
e.g. Temple Run, Angry Birds, Modern Warfare, Snakes on a Plane, Hero's Realm
