In light of Bully's澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new, but less punchy title(all puns intended), we wondered if Canis Canem Edit really is up there🎶 with the dodgier names to grace game shelves over the years.
We rummaged deep into our collective ﷺbrain sacks for some of the most baffling, long-winded, utter nonsense game names that we've ever encountered. So, for your mild amusement, here's our top 10 madcap monikers...
10. Deus Ex
Another Latin lesson - taken from 'deus ex machina', or 'god from the machine' - though producer Warren Spector cheer♌ily noted that if PC gamers mispronounced it as 'Do Sex' it'd probab🙈ly increase sales.
9. Vagrant Story
One of PSone's most beautiful, intricate and memorable action-RPGs, but from a glance at the spi𒁏ne card you'd think it was a tramp simulator.
8. Azurik: Rise of Perathia
It's to🌳ugh enough being an original launch title for a brand new machine (in Azurik's case, Xbox) - even more so w🔥hen you sound like an airport departure terminal's cut-price fantasy paperback.
7. Xenosaga Epsiode III: Also Sprach Zarathustra
Or, for that matter, Episode I: Der Wille Zur Macht and Episode II: J♓enseits von Gut und Bose. Nothing says 'accessible console RPG' like Japanese s🐻ci-fi mixed with German philosophy, right Namco?
6. Dragon Quest VIII: The Sky, The Sea, The Earth and The Cursed Princess
Scarily not the longest subtitle in Japanese RPG history, Square-Enix resisted the temptation to call the extra-content-featuring Western release The Sky, The Sea, The Earth, The Cur🦄sed Princess and The Kitchen Si🎃nk.
