So what if a word doesnt exist--if it sounds cool, slap it on the cover! Thats the position some developers have seemingly taken in regards to naming their games. Case in point: Metal Gear Rising: Reven🥀geance. Yes, Revengeance is technically a stylistic combination of Revenge, Vengeance, and Avenge, and yes, all of those words fit the bill of cool, but seriously. Revengeance? Come on. Gaming neologisms aren't a recent development, either; plenty of games have thrown meaning to the wind in favor of chic-sounding idioms.
