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.oldkingallant
So surely you visit solar systems...within a single galaxy?

Castlevania Lords of Shadow - It's not Castlevania at all

Dead Space - space can't die

The Orange Box - the box isn't orange

BxR_ANIMAL
and how is the title "Uncharted" as in "Uncharted territory" misconstrued by having part of it set in nepal?

Halo 2, 3, ODST, and Reach. It was fine for the first Halo since you were ... you know, on Halo. The others take place elsewhere.

FinalFantasy ... I wish.

Perfect Dark- It got a 9.9.. and the game seemed pretty bright to me

Socom Confrontation- The lag made it impossible for any confrontations to take place

Animal Crossing: City Folk-... That is NOT a City in any way .. shape.. or form...

Darksiders. The title has zero (0) relevance to anything in the game's fiction or mechanics. It's a good title, but they obviously didn't think about it for very long after it popped into someone's head.

Half Life - You start out with full life

Raymundo_Manuel
Half-life is the period of time it takes for a substance undergoing decay to decrease by half. The name originally was used to describe a characteristic of unstable atoms (radioactive decay), but may apply to any quantity which follows a set-rate decay. It makes sense. :P

I will probably be smite down by FF fans but ..... What has 'Final Fantasy' got to do with any of the story? If a game was indeed the final 'fantasy', how come another game is released after that? P.S: It probably means for each world they create , the corresponding story is the last fantasy..... I am not sure though :)

It was named like that because when Square made it, they were on the edge of bankruptcy. So it was their "Final" fantasy game. But you know how that turned out. :P Nowadays it's just used everytime Square makes a new game, then attach the brand name for popularity. At least that's how I see it.

elbert_b_23

Some of the most famous Pirates were actually employed by other Governments like Sir Francis Drake he was employed by England and they think of him as a Hero but in Spain they consider him a Pirate.

That is just one example of Pirates working for the Government.

It's just a random pairing of polysyllables, like most JRPG titles.

[QUOTE="elbert_b_23"] endless ocean- the ocean does end no more heroes- there never was a hero in the game

Endless Ocean - And where exactly is the end of the ocean? It can be as endless as you want it to be. No More Heroes - Which is exactly why it's called No More Heroes I would of thought, because there are no heroes.

Castlevania Lords of Shadow - It's not Castlevania at all

Dead Space - space can't die

The Orange Box - the box isn't orange

GreenGoblin2099

I think you missed the point of it, wasn't it meant to be a play on the black box (of an areoplane) which is orange?
