T.A.G. - The Acronym Game

edited October 2009 in Games and Technology
Another holiday season means another glut of games and another glut of games means more acronym madness! So many upcoming titles mean a confusing jumble of letters assault Joe Consumer so we might as well make a game out of it.

Guess the title of the game from its acronym and you leave an acronym for the next person to solve. And try not to be too vague; 'MW2' might be Modern Warfare 2 or Mechwarrior 2. And, as always, it's more fun when you don't cheat and look answers up online. Here are three to start:

M2: WiF (multi-platform)
ABaHB (Wii)
ToMI: LotSN: Chapter 1 (PC)

    M2: WiF = Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
    ABaHB (Wii) = A Boy and His Blob
    ToMI: LotSN: Chapter 1 (PC) = Tales of Monkey Island: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal

    And here's mine:
    RaCF:aCiT (PS3)
    tB:RB (multi)
    SBSQ:US (XBLA, and it is an older one)

    Or, an acronym for the sake of having an acronym where none is needed.

    That to yes.

    I've always just seen it as Stalker, never as the acronym.

    Yeah, people don't say F(dot)E(dot)A(dot)R(dot) - they just say Fear.

    You got it. Though now that I think about it, it's usually just CMBB (along with CMBO and CMAK).

    STALKER was just a joke for the acronym game!
