What games/series have the most misleading/confusing names.

Off the top of my head...

Final Fantasy: Never final.

Silent Hill, there's no hill, and the god damn radio is always going off and machinery is grinding in the background and people are screaming and dying. Sure is a lovely place though.

Rainbow Six Vegas, I assumed the rainbow meant gold at the end, six was the multiplied amount I'll be winning, and Vegas is the location. I was wrong :(

Hmm.. just a few of my personal collection, Jump Superstars - The competition has very little to do with jumping! Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl - What this isn't a AO game? I wanted to peep at some shimapan from behind the bushes!

Red Orchestra: There's not a single musical instrument in this game WTF! Black and White: Bahh what is with all this COLOR! Hawx: This has very little to do with birds!

Dead space is actually a term, the name is probably a pun off of that.

Resident Evil. For a game about zombies and mutations, the title alone makes you think you're playing a game based on the Amittyville horror :P. (seriously, Biohazzard is a much more fitting name, never understood why they changed the title for America :?).

Guitar Hero - You're playing a plastic instrument. There's nothing "heroic" about it.

Max Payne - It sounds like the main character could be a wrestler.

Super Smash Bros. - There are women in it. :|

Except the single player campaign. BOOM!

CLEAN UP IN AISLE BOOM!

Gears of War- there were very few gears visible and any that may have been there certainly had no direct relation to war.

Uncharted- A large portion of the areas Drake explores are in fact on a map, and are therefore charted.

Super Mario Galaxy- You do not visit galaxies... you visit solar systems. Galaxies do not have a single sun and do not consist of planets.

Red Dead Redemption- Redemption makes sense... not much is red other than the very limited amount of blood and I'm not sure why the redemption itself would be red or dead.

Resistance: Fall of Man- Well considering man at least partly defeats alien it's not the total fall of man.

Red Faction: Guerilla- What part of this game is guerilla warfare? Sure you stealthily blow **** up but once it's blown up it's not exactly guerilla tactics since you're out in the open.

Far Cry- I do not believe there are people crying from a far.

A lot of game names make absolutely no sense in relation to the game I guess :P.

Quantum Theory, it has nothing to do with the study of physics that deal with the 4 forces that govern our universe (electromagnetic, weak, strong, gravitational), and instead is just a horrible Japanese knockoff of Gears of War.

Street Fighter A laboratory is not a street. A train station is not a street. An airfield is not a street. A palace is not a street. There are streets in the game. But not nearly as much you'd think.

Donkey Kong was chosen because Donkey means Stubborn and the word Kong is often associated with Apes.

"The Legend of Dragon"

Every time I see this PS2 game on the shelf, I think it is a re-packaged version of The Legend of Dragoon on the PS. Then I am sorely disappointed every time I pick it up.
