Gamers Universe Review: Double D Dodgeball

Gamers Universe writes: "Alas dear readers, it's true. You may have spotted this game cropping up on the weekly Xbox Live Arcade updates recently and swiftly downloaded it in the mistaken belief that it might replicate the pneumatic thrills of titles such as Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball - but if you're expecting chesty thrills here you're in for a severe disappointment.

In fact, we're not exactly sure why the game was called Double D Dodgeball at all. We suspect it had a lot to do with trying to catch a little passing interest from numpties who download each and every game promising cartoon breast based thrills without checking the content first. Let us help you get over your pixel porn addiction and put the record straight before any more of you waste your valuable bandwidth grabbing this."

Top 5 Most Inappropriately Named Games

OXM UK names the top five most inappropriately named games on Xbox 360.

The five games are listed in order along with reasons why they have made the list and a suggestion for what they should have been called instead.

Wanted isn't even out yet. And it's Grin doing it, and it's not been delayed for the movie - could actually be really good.

The Matrix5643d ago

Most Inappropriately Named Game: Resistance...no one can resist.

MrWeymes5643d ago

The Legend of Zelda. She wasn't even in Majoras Mask. Who's telling legends of Zelda? They're too busy telling children about the heroic adventures of Link, or the "unnamed" hero.

Bnet3435643d ago

I LOLed at:

"1. LEGENDARY, SHOULD HAVE BEEN: Medicore"

Bonsai12145643d ago

haha, i laughed at that and "ninety nine nights, should have been named, eight hours"

InMyOpinion5643d ago

Two Worlds should never be mentioned. The horror...

P5643d ago

It should be "Gears of War 1.5"
