For fun, I decided to make a thread where you take potshots at your favorite games by describing them as hilariously/absurdly as possible. It needn't be restricted to single games either, you can apply the description to a whole game series if you wish.
Let me start:
System Shock 2: A game where you shoot blue balls at monkeys, zombies and robots, just like in an anime!
Hitman series: A whole set of games built around the absurd incentive of killing people to steal clothes and kill more people.

The game is you describe them absurdly without the titles and people try to guess them. Like:
- Collecting oddball crap all over the countryside, turning a national tragedy into more of a giftshop for crooks and thugs.
- No time to explain, gotta run.

Half-life 2?
Here's one for a series:
-rich man dresses up like an animal and goes around the city beating up the mentally ill every night

If it were in that neighborhood, it'd surely be HL1 before 2, no? But if it needs more specificity, I could amend it to "No time to shoot, gotta run."

Sounds like almost every superhero game series ever, only remove the "animal" and "mentally ill" part, and replace the latter with "evil minded".

Batman, innit.
Couple here:
Fruit ninja, cyborg edition.
Spank the monkey.

You wield a weapon as complex as an Apple mouse. For recreation you take photos of the lovely wildlife and then slaughter them afterwards.

Fallout?

Mirror's Edge?
- One man on a desperate quest to save the world from terrible monsters. Your job? Stop him!

Batman it is!

Mirror's Edge except for the parts where they make you shoot?
I've always thought of HL2 as a run for your life sort of game where they make you start running the second they're about to tell you any story, almost to a parodic degree.
