The article looks at a whole bunch of games and then sees what spell check has to say a bout their names. A pretty good read as some of their are interesting. Some like Pikmin which produced minibike, dominik, dominick, pickman and skimming. Tekken produced trekkers, trekker, trekked, trecker's and Heineken. Abadox managed to produce Barbados, Paradox, Paradoxes, Paradox's and Paradoxic.

You know that red line that pops up in Word, Firefox or any other program with a spell check? It's helpful, don't get us wrong, but they really should spend some time working on spell check's virtual intuition. When we typed "Firefox," just now while writing this article, the red line asked if we meant "firebox." Um no, we didn't. And that's what happens countless times every second across the world when people type in video game names - weird ass suggestions that are so off the mark they become entertaining in their own right.

Collected here are our favorite moments of spell check gone mad. It all started when somehow we managed to make Firefox's speller suggest "Televangelist" in place in "Castlevania."

    I can sum most of the box arts up in one word (or Internet acronym in this case): LOL.
