Insane in the game
Names are important. That’s why we’re subjected to ridiculous subtitles like Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Crysis 2: Cry Harder. These long-winded names are a player’s first point of contact with the relentless games industry PR machine: so whenever you call your game Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, you’d better make sure said game is insane and twisted. ‘Shadow Planet’ isn’t quite as big a claim, since all you need for that is a sphere with a reasonably large rock on it orbiting a star.
