Shadowrun
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne - Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry™ series

[hexer]

NieR Automata
Final Fantasy
Battlespire
Daggerfall
Betrayal at Krondor
Planescape
Icewind Dale
Fallout
Ys
Dark Messiah of Might & Magic

Divine Divinity

Although great games, I disagree with Divine Divinity being a great name.
It's the same as calling a game Diabolic Diablo or Fantastic Fantasy. It just sounds derpy and not witty.

 

[Falksi]

Serpent in The Staglands
Betrayal at Krondor
Shadowrun
Vandal Hearts

And if they'd have kept it "No Truce With The Furies"

 

[hexer]

Forgot these two..

[EldarEldrad]

Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday

 

[Chainsaw Gutsfuck]

Laplace's Demon

 

[Kiste]

Crusaders of the Dark Savant and BloodNet.
I bought both games because their titles promised something cool.
Wizardry 7 was great, BloodNet was garbage.

 

[deama]

Divine Divinity
Sacrifice

 

[samuraigaiden]

Make Your Own Murder Party

 

[rohand]

As they're often inspiration for RPG names, especially classic ones, I've always liked the classic D&D module titles:

Expedition to the Barrier Peaks
The Gates of Firestorm Peak
The Forge of Fury
Dwellers of the Forbidden City
Against the Cult of the Reptile God
Scourge of the Slave Lords
City of Skulls

That's also the same with several Fighting Fantasy and Lone Wolf gamebooks, many of which have now game versions:
Citadel of Chaos
The Warlock of Firetop Mountain
Flight from the Dark
The Chasm of Doom
(etc)

 

[theSavant]

Might & Magic
Swords & Sorcery
Wizards & Warriors

I picked them because in the past these were the things I was looking for in a fantasy game: people fighting with swords and magic. And only titles like these directly implied that I'll get both. A title like "Wizardry" felt empty and missing the swords' part. In fact my first thought about this game was "meh... I don't want a game with wizards only".
