I am thinking about starting my own game company that makes MMORPGS, something like WoW or something. The company name I was thinking of was Tartarus Entertaintment, Abyss Entertaintment, or Abyssal Entertaintment. Which one is the best...anything?

Thanks!

How about:

Event Horizon.

I was thinking of the movie a couple of days ago and thought, this would be a cool name for a band. It works for game dev just as well.

Just be sure you check that no one else is already using the name, or you run the risk of getting into a load of legal trouble...

[karligula]

How about Neutron Blast Software? Big Bang Games? Dark Star Studios?

Hmmm I'm detecting a cosmology theme developing...

[TheNut]

"Two Dolla Productions" :lol:

DO YOU HIRE ?
CAN I BE ON THE LIGHTING TEAM ?!

Sorry... couldn't resist. Oh man... I miss that guy !

I always liked reading posts where who would chimed in. Most of the time it made my day :)

It was probably a bad idea to ask it here anyway because of that same legal trouble
guy A asks for name
guy B invents <name>
guy A uses <name>
10 years later, guy A made big bucks with his company called <name>
guy B says "'Sup? Where's my share, yo!"

how about 'Flop 3D' ... hehe.. kiding

Abyss Entertaintment sounds good

1. Grab a dictionary
2. Open at random page
3. Eyes closed, poke at a word
4. Append "entertainment", "games", "interactive", "designs" or "technologies"
5. ...
6. profit!

Just to note, my "game label" (not a company as such) is Ass Hat Designs: http://www.asshatdesigns.com
I'm pretty sure nobody is going to sue me for using the same name..

[stodge]

Create the product prototype or demo and worry about the company name later. Are you forming a company or just using a name as a label?

:happy:

Abyss is the better of the three.

But how about something a little more memorable?
Like:

"Cat Cannon"
"Nine Armed Octopus"
or
"Pink Battle Axe Productions"

:)

LameGames Productions Ltd. ;-)..... kidding. :D

[kusma]

LameGame(s) isn't actually that bad of a name :)

I kinda hate most game-company names, one notable exception is CodeMonkeys. I find most of them to be too serious and not enough fun.

What about "<insert game company name>"
Yeah I meant that literally .

[Kain Mikado]

Tartarus and Abyss, have we been playing Tales of the Abyss lately? xD

I like Abyssal the best. Another cool one is Abysmal.

Though just to throw it out there, the abyss in general caries a very negative aura. I prefer things that are a little more uplifting... Perhaps like 'Pink Fairy Entertainment' ^_~

You know it's funny that people can invent forum names, but not company names.

Wise man once said, look within.


Ok, I'll save you the trouble.... "Carnage something...."

[Lamoureux]

Here one, Inpenatrable Fortress Matrix Corp. My own company name is (RPG Dreamworks Inc.)
