@Walter: It's true. I recently ran through a routine test in a hospital and they found out I have only about one quarter of a brain (0. 265 human brain units, to be precise).

But the real problem are people who get personal just because they don't like another person's opinion. It's OK if you think the title suits the game. Let me have my freedom of opinion, please.

I think what's laughable is a character like bronstein, who need his game titles to be a literal definition of what the game is... "Over the net" is a perfect title for anyone with at least half a brain...

@Emperor: I get your point, but titles such as "Grand Prix Simulator" are hilarious in relation to the actual gameplay. They represent British humour at its best. Apart from that, certainly no one would have minded if Genias had chosen an Italian language title.

For instance, "Pallavolo" would have been a beautiful title. (It simply means "volleyball" in Italian. )

A bit hard surely?

Most sports games have fairly banal names.

Take the following titles made by English / American coders:

International Soccer / Tennis / Basketball

International 3D Tennis

Grand Prix / BMX / Powerboat / Mountainbike / Pogo Stick / Gerbil Strangling / Monkey Buggering Simulators (Codemasters)

and yes, if English is yer 2nd(or 3rd) language, then yr not gonna be too fussed about agonising over a snazzy title.

So there! ;)

The title alone is laughable. I think it's amazing how the Italians don't even bother to think of decent names for their products, not to mention to learn the English language... No wonder way down south everything falls apart these days...
