What do you think are the best video game TITLES? I mean just the name of a game, regardless of how good or bad the actual game may be. Which sound the best?

Here are some of my favorites:

Radiant Silvergun (Saturn) - I love that title! It makes me think of elegance and blowing stuff up at the same time. Could there a better shmup title?

The Earth Dies Screaming (2600) - based a movie, isn't it? Cool title.

Galaxian (Arcade) - nifty space-sounding made up word.

Zzyzzyxx (Arcade) - How do you pronounce that anyway?

Exed Exes (Arcade) - I like it. It's alliterative.

Conquest of the World (Odyssey2) - Actually, I like all the O2 Master Strategy titles, but this one is the most striking.

The Legacy of the Wizard - Sounds impressive. Too bad the game isn't.


And my favorite "Japlish" title: Defend the Terra Attack on the Red UFO (MAME). It's almost a haiku:

Defend the Terra
Attack on Red UFO
Galaxian hack

Gunners Heaven -With or without an apostrophe, it sounds cool.

Lightning Legend -Ah, the Japanese penchant for alliterative English titles.

Guilty Gear -See above.

Phantasy Star -Alternative spelling rules.

Grim Fandango -Try to say it without chuckling.

Axelay -I don't know what it means, but it rolls off the tongue nicely.

Xexex -Like "banana," this one's hard to stop spelling when you say it aloud.

Monster In My Pocket (NES). I know its based on a licence, but that title always sounded a bit suggestive to me.
