thatgamecompany is really lame in that pretentious hipster all-lowercase ironic name way.
Respawn Studios - using FPS slang in a company name sounds cornball.
Visceral - I cringe every time I hear this name, especially since how "visceral" became such an overused word to describe every single average big-budget western shootbang last gen
Zoe Mode - Sounds more like someone's etsy storefront than a game company.
Vlambeer - Makes me think of the awful Bill Lambeer's Combat Basketball game on SNES.
For best names I'm quite fond of Obsidian. I'm not familiar with their games aside from South Park but I like how it hearkens back to their old name of "Black Isle" and also is taken from something generally seen as classy, valuable and rich.
Fond of Ninja Theory as well, it sounds like an album title from a conscious rapper and it speaks to my weeaboo side. Electro Brain is cool in an 80's cyberpunk way.
And also I'm fond of the name of the obscure company DISCO, who developed NES games for Taito, for obvious reasons.
And finally, I don't find CD PROJEKT RED that bad. It brings to mind communist chic.
