Top 10 worst iPhone game names ever
|

You know when you see a game with an atrocious name and wonder to yourself 'In what dimension did the developers think that was a decent name for anything?'.

We facepalm over iPhone app names quite often at Pocket Gamer. It's difficult to understand how a developer can put so much work into a project, then splash an awful name on it.

So in an attempt to call out those developers who we think need to hire people to name their games in the future, we've concocted a list of the 10 worst titles on the App Store.

Think we've missed out a truly terrible game title?

Let your thoughts be heard in the comments below. Our check out our Top 10 best iPhone game names ever feature.

Ow My Balls! - Jetson Creative

Described by the creators as "one of the funniest apps in the App Store". Not only does this game have an incredibly stupid name, but the content - including fart jetpacks and videos of "people busting their balls" - is pretty suspect too.

Pee Monkey Toilet Trainer 2 - happylatte

It's a wonder there was enough demand for Pee Monkey Toilet Trainer to justify making a sequel. Control a monkey as he does his business. Four words we never imagined seeing together in a sentence, let alone the title for an iPhone game.

R U a Good French Kisser - nBit Inc

The inclusion of 'R U' rather than real words is bad enough, but the rest of the name is just as bad. Advice from the creators: "Use common sense and do not slobber all over the device". Let's be honest, if you'd downloaded this, you're automatically devoid of common sense anyway.

Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies - Activision

So many colons, so little time.

Super Jetpack Dragon IV: Village Burntopia - Muteki

Need we explain this one? A dragon with a jetpack, the word 'Burntopia', the fact that Super Jetpack Dragon I, II and III don't exist...

It's a joke right? Isn't it?

Dr Nano X: The Doctor is Inside - Mission Critical Studios

I know what it means, but it just sounds rude. And rubbish.

Brutal Tide: The Tale of Captain Stabface - Mean Interactive

It's names like this that make us wonder what the developers were thinking. Stabface? Really? Although judging by the developer's name, it isn't exactly skilled in the naming department.

Doodle Jump - BE WARNED: Insanely Addictive! - Lima Sky

There's some debate in Pocket Gamer tower about whether this should be in the best or worst name lists, but I'm firmly of the opinion that despite the game's massive sales figures Doodle Jump's full title is very pointless.

iBlast Moki - Godzilab

One of those names where it's impossible to guess what the game is about. Putting a little 'i' before a word just for the hell of it makes us cry real tears.

Chronicles of Mystery: Curse of the Ancient Temple - City Interactive

It's generic game title word count time! Chronicles + Mystery + Curse + Ancient = four boring puzzle-related words - that's more than half of the game title! Most definitely contender for most boring and tedious game name ever.
