Warning, activating rant mode!
Not sure if this is the right forum to put this in, since these games pervade consoles and mobiles as well, but what is with the overdramatic pretentious naming of these stupid casual games?
The latest one I've seen advertised is "Farm Hero Saga". Now as far as I can tell, it's basically a glorified version of bejewelled, the only relevance the name actually bears to the game is that the "jewels" are actually vegetables - a tenuous link at best.
The game (again as far as I can tell from the ads) features no heroes, and it certainly isn't a: "long story of heroic achievement, especially a medieval prose narrative in Old Norse or Old Icelandic." or "long, involved story, account, or series of incidents."
Something like Final Fantasy, or even at a stretch Half-Life or similar could be considered a "saga" but not a puzzle game with no storyline to speak of?!
Not sure why it winds me up so much - 1st world problems and all that, but do they just have some name autogenerator which picks 2 random words and puts "saga" at the end?! Muppets!! </rant>
