Games with honest names

Most of the time Games have names that define the game pretty well like Minecraft or Simcity or Orbital deer hunter.
Other times the game has a name that does not seem to have anything to do with the game, the genre or theme.

For example Assasins creed - Brotherhood seems to have little to do with actually assasinating people and more to do with being grand theft horse and a Rome rebuilding simulator

If games were always honest they'd look something like this

or this

edit: typos.

The board game Sorry! should be changed to Your Not Sorry, You Never Were, and Your a Lying Cheating Whore.

The board game Your Not Sorry, You Never Were, and Your a Lying Cheating Whore should be changed to You're Not Sorry, You Never Were, and You're a Lying Cheating Whore.

I don't have anything to contribute unfortunately, but I'd just like to say I would play the gently caress out of Orbital Deer Hunter.

Every Monopoly ever should rightly be changed to Monopoly: Superfun Deluxe Cheating Edition (I bought those houses two moves ago, don't you remember??? :byodood:

I didn't learn a lot about the Oregon trail from this game, but I do have a keen understanding as to why there are no more buffalo.

This still is one of my all time favorite games. Hallucinogen aided 4 hour multiplayer marathons were the best. Oh to be a teenager again.

I don't have time to do a Dragon Age 2 one right now, unfortunately. If someone hasn't put one up by the time I come back, I may have to try. Granted, there's room for multiple versions on that one.
