Renegade Ops has new screens, still has awful name
Seriously, I am not letting up on my campaign to have Renegade Ops' name changed. It is an awful, generic name and nobody will pay attention to it unless they already know that the game is good. Anyway, here are some new screens for Vehikiller, which is what it should be called. They show off loads of explosions and stuff, which is pretty much the point of the game. I can dig it with a big spoon! Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Make an online petition, Jim. Those work well. Or how about a write-up or Jimquisition of games with terrible names. I'm sick of every subtitle being 'unleashed' or anything with the prefix 'un-'. Oh yes, the name is so important when it comes to the sales of a game. Carnival Games sold 6 million copies, and I'm sure it was because Carnival Games is the best title for a game I've ever come across.

The name probably did help, given that families and kids bought it. Fail. Thank Christ it's not called Maverick Ops, otherwise Sarah Palin might play it and THEN THE UNIVERSE WOULD FUCKING EXPLODE. i would do sick evil things to an open world version of jakal. jakalvania style.
