Need ideas for your next big game but are suffering from writers block? You need the Video Game Name Generator. Each title is a kick in the pants to your creative juices such as:

Inept Outlaw Knights
Stylish Hair Salon Country
Jackie Chan's Spork 95
Alien Gnome - The Dark Project
Kung-fu Trailer Park Dash
Bewildering Bong Armada

And for our friends down under:

Australian Unicycle Inferno

Here are some links to Something Awful who has taken some of the titles generated for them and created box art for them:

Special thanks to Xgamr at the Big Hot Sho forums for the heads up on this fun thingy.

MC Escher's Breakdancing Dance Party and the accompanying concept of gameplay look simply hilarious. (Page 4 of the first link, at the bottom)
That's one game I'd definitely pay for.

BTW, the link to the random game name generator appears to be broken.
Polytetrafluoroethylene to my friends.

Macbook Pro - C2D 2.4Ghz / 4Gb RAM / WD Scorpio Black 320GB ( 255GB OSX v 42GB XP ) / Geforce 8600M GT 256Mb / 15.4"
Cube - G4 1.7Ghz 7448 / 1.5Gb RAM / Samsung Spinpoint 250GB / Geforce 6200 256Mb

We won! Apple offer the 17" with a matte screen! Well... at a price...

for the first few I looked through, I think only this one is truly great:

iMac C2D: 2.16GHz l 2GB RAM l OSX 10.4.11 l nVidia 7600GT l 256 MB VRAM

Yes. Yes they were. I know your IP number. I can report you to your IP. Soon you'll be sorry for that day you didn't laugh at what I thought was funny.

Ohmagosh! This must be what Master Chief wears! It's got the carbon filtered butthole baffle, the Balzac™ sweat soaker upper, and the Superfly 500. It has ablative armor in the taint and can withstand category 5 hurricanes. Just think of all the jams that can get you out of in a heated battle, or free falling from orbit without a chute.

A couple of the names generated are really funny ("Battlefield: Tennis All-Stars"? "Amish Football Fight Club"? "Kabuki Rabbit Blast"? "Fantastic Barbarian XXX" – obviously a Hentai game. "The Sims: Internet Uncensored"? "Undead Castlevania Scandal"? Pure gold.) But I can't really say I know much games real games with names in that vein (three to five words titles), which makes that less funny as it could be.

Sensual Fencing Dance Party


...It's funny 'cause it's TRUE.

Throbbing Fashion Phonics FTW!

New fave:

Turbo Typing Prophecy

... I really need to believe in this one.

Here's one for Eric:

Assuming he can set his Barbies aside long enough.
