Okay guys, I'm working on a game for school, and for some reason we struggle heavily finding a fitting name for it. Therefore I ask for your help here.
The game is a remake of an old game, but I doubt many of you know it. It an arena match game, where the players ride on refitted jetengines, that are equipped with grappling hooks that are used to get the enemies off their jetbikes. It is set in a post apocalyptic earth, 300 years after a comet stroke and destroyed most civilization through dust, tidal waves and radiation.

The people living in the world of the game are part of machine tribes that use scavenged material from the "old world" to build their machines (think "Mad Max"). While the apocalypse defines the setting and the backstory, it does not actively play a role during the game, except for the fact that the jetbikes / rockets are built from junk, and that the arenas display a vast amount of devastation.

The game plays a bit like a race game, but is not (think "Destruction Derby").

Now over the time we have become too involved in this to see clearly what would work as a good name. So we made a list what we have come up with so far. Some of them are silly, some are unrelated.. just tell me what you'd buy if you saw it in a shop and where you think it'd still work with what the game is about. (about the unrelated names - consider e.g. "unreal" or "half-life" had pretty much nothing to do with the actual game, but sold really well cool)

If you can think of something nice that's not on the list, or a different combination of words, let us hear it!
The list:

* Delta-V
* Rocket Rampage
* Rocket Rodeo
* Singularity
* Rocket Force
* Solitude
* Thunder Jets
* Rocket Rider
* Rocket Zone
* Ramjet Rockets
* Legacy
* Rat Rockets
* Exile
* Threshold
* Rocket Raiders
* Afterburner Mayhem
* Afterburner
* Rocket Wars
* Turbulence
* Jetbike Zone
* Momentum
* Grapple-X
* Desolation
* End of Oblivion
* Wasteland
* Barren Earth



Uhm.. ah yeah, concerning creative rights - let's assume we already have a name and you have to guess what it is
Thanks for your help!

I would SO buy that.

Especially if it's accompanied by flashy colours and a brilliant picture like we know your skill can make them.

Yup.

However I like the sound of this... what language you writing it? using any particular 3D toolkit or what?
