[YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bigmode) user qualbert1 created the [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-game-streaming) page 'Honest Video Game Box Art' to shed light on the video games that have deceiving titles. On it, he posts re-imaged [video game covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovable-games) with new titles that say it like it is.

Just like "judging a book by its cover," gamers can do the same with video game packaging. The graphics and titles can deceive the gamer to thinking the game is about something else other than what it truly is.

The video game enthusiast decided he had enough of being surprised with the true contents of particular video games and approached exposing them in a humorous manner. For example, he renamed the League of Legends video game as League of D*ckheads.
