If every game had a subtitle as ludicrously literal as Medal of Honor: Warfighter

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.

Medal of Honor: Warfighter review code is still a bit thin on the ground, meaning that we can't bring you our verdict until a little later. But there is one matter relating to the game that we can discuss. That subtitle. Whatever the quality of Medal of Honor: Warfighter, the post-colon bit of its title surely goes down as the most literal and abitrary subtitle of a generation brimming with arbitrary and often inane video game subtitles.

It's a game about fighting wars. It's called Warfighter. Between the word and the generic, chunky font it's written in there's almost a sort of self-parodying brilliance there. So we applied that logic across the whole bunch more games to see what we'd end up with.

The logos in the gallery above. That's what we ended up with.
