A grammar-based exercise? RUN! But wait...it involves video games? Interesting. Do go on.

A few weeks ago at work, Game Developer managing editor Jill Duffy set, as a culmination to a series of fiendishly difficult grammar-related whiteboard challenges, a somewhat easier task - the editors of Gamasutra and Game Developer magazine were to come up with the most stereotypical video game name... evah.

Their entries were pretty good, culminating in my favourite, the simple yet brutally effective "WWII: World War II". Other highlights included "Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's Call Of Duty: Revenge Of Duty" and the terrifying "Pauly Shore's XTREME Nude Wakeboarding II: The Awakening".

You lot have got enough spare time to scrape some wit together, don't you? Bonus points, gold stars and drinks tokens for multiple colons, engrish JRPG titles and improper nomenclature. Luke Plunkett
