Awesome sounding words that you feel should be used more often in game titles.

That Street Fighter thread has got me thinking how OP the word hyper is. Hyper should be used for most game titles! I can only think of two or three that use it :( but if the word is in a title it's getting my immediate attention.

Cases in point; these titles go from good to hyper (you have to read it in Sagat voice tho)...

Hyper Overload
Hyper Alpha Protocol
Ar Tonelico Qoga: Hyper Knell of Ar Ciel
The Legend of Zelda: A Hyperlink To The Past

Which words do you think should be used more often in game titles?

I feel like "Black" has a really great edge to it in titles although it's not used often. But compare Ninja Gaiden to Ninja Gaiden Black and NGB just sounds super badass. Other titles I can think of...

Call of Duty: Black Ops
Black

I like random letters and numbers, Final Fantasy Tactics A2 has a vibe. And the rare few Switch games that got a simple "S" (which Dragon Quest XI kept when ported to other platforms for some reason.)

We were also robbed of Ultra games

Buggery.

For example:

Call of Duty*: Buggery
Player Unknown Buggery Grounds
Bugs Bunny* & Taz: Time Buggery

*Could replace with Buggery

Midgar, With Love
It would be appreciated if a publisher would give the word Duodecim a chance. I also enjoy the way "Birth by Sleep" sounds, albeit only in that order. Along similar lines, whilst on a walk the other day I decided to combine words: Theatrhythm sprang to mind. I'm not sure about this next one -- looking for opinions -- Integrity? Or maybe Faithlessness? In any case, definitely Pictlogica.

Revengeance is already the name of Metal Gear Rising Revengeance. Let's find some fresher fare, y'all.

As a non native speaker, my favorite word in English is "flabbergasted". It sounds cool and I can't explain why.
Use it.

Gamer's

as in

Gamer's Final Fantasy XVI

That way it would be like a good pasta sauce, you know it has been approved by gamers.

Well since I like Portal the game so much I'd say Portal. Super Mario Portal Brothers. Halo Portal. Elder Scrolls VI: Portal Edition. Heck we already had a space core from Portal added as a mod to Skyrim so why not?

As non-native speaker, I've always found the word "smorgasbord" quite funny. Yeah I'll go with that.
