Best name so far

Oh oh. You could look up quotes from like modern generals or Winston Churchill or someone. Pick out a few unique words in order and then use them as a title. You'll look sophisticated.

I agree. The game should be called "Madam, you are ugly".

@Lyaer:

Excellent names, but

Incoming - done
Outnumbered! - done
Barrage - done
Barricade - done

are all cool game names taken already? :o
I'm gonna patent every free name, dammit

This is somehow profoundly unsurprising. Now here's some thesaurus action.

Main Entry:    attack
Part of Speech:    noun
Definition:    physical assault
Synonyms:    advance, aggression, assailing, assailment, barrage, blitz, blitzkrieg, charge, defilement, dirty deed, drive, encounter, encroachment, foray, incursion, initiative, inroad, intervention, intrusion, invasion, irruption, mugging, offense, offensive, onrush, onset, onslaught, outbreak, push, raid, rape, rush, skirmish, storming, strike, thrust, violation, volley

I assume that every single one of these that does not either sound completely innocuous or refer to sexual assault is already taken, but you never know!

EDIT: Assailment is probably your best bet from that list. Or encroachment. But encroachment sounds a bit slow and gradual, so depending on the pace it may not be appropriate, and assailment sounds like you were running out of good one word names and had to use a thesaurus.

Put the word 'Project' infront of any of the aforementioned words...

Personally I like 'Project Blitzkreig'

Tanks But No Tanks

Battleplan: Bring It On

Waves of Mutilation

Fort Stormage

Take the battlements!

Encircle and destroy

Its a tough one for that genre, as everyone said the names are pretty played out.

Tuomas · Fri 30/07/2010 20:29:30

I think "mugging" from the list up there would sound more than great.

Stupot · Fri 30/07/2010 23:44:16

How about something Latin like 'Anno Domini' or 'Magister Militum'...

InCreator · Sat 31/07/2010 13:21:03

Ooh, with all those suggestions, I'd rather have whole series of games to name

Now, I'm split between two:
Enclosed or Encircled ?

Wonkyth · Sat 31/07/2010 13:43:19

I'd go Enclosed, as it seems more contained.

Tuomas · Sat 31/07/2010 14:05:47

Pronounce them out loud. Enclosed is so much better, this should be an easy choise.

Wonkyth · Sat 31/07/2010 14:22:28

Enclosed would actually work really well after another word, like Evil Enclosed or something.

Names are trademarked not patented!

Need any music for this?

InCreator · Sat 31/07/2010 19:04:56

I'd love some music.
HOWEVER

1) Planning to make it commercial... since it's my first cowardly try to profit from my hobby, meh. Cannot promise riches or even any reasonable fee
2) I imagine music as mix of action-orchestra and jungle/dnb - like during car chases in movies and so

I know you are good at orchestra part...

I'm willing to discuss this, however... maybe via PMs
