I was discussing it other day with some friends, there are games that call your attention with their names but they are completely misleading.
e.g. I expected "Retrovirus" to be something about infection, epidemy and drug treatment, I expected "Natural Selection" to be some sort of improvement over Spore, I expected "Epigenesis" to be something marvelous since I can't even imagine a game about epigenesis, but what I really saw was... shooter, shooter, shooter! Also "Darwinia" is a RTS that, well, has actually nothing to do with Darwin...
What game names do you people think are totally misleading, have cool words but say nothing about the actual gameplay?
