Game company names that could mean something else: Reader entries

But one thing I love about you lot is that however silly we tend to be, you can usually go one better. So when I asked for your suggestions for more, I got a torrent of abstract comedy gold. So I've made some of them into entries for another feature. Which you have now already been reading for nearly two paragraphs. So go on, read the rest.

David Houghton
Long-time GR+ writer Dave has been gaming with immense dedication ever since he failed dismally at some '80s arcade racer on a childhood day at the seaside (due to being too small to reach the controls without help). These days he's an enigmatic blend of beard-stroking narrative discussion and hard-hitting Psycho Crushers.
