Meteos is about bringing in galaxy-wide destructive enemies and then methodically breaking planets up into their component resources.

Madden is a race to remove as many points from the scoreboard as possible in 60 minutes.

Edit: Mortal Kombat is about one character bringing another to life only to have them slap each other around for a little while and go their separate ways. This works well for Soul Calibur as well.

This is an awesome thread and reminds me of the episode "Backwards" from Red Dwarf.

Super Mario Sunshine is about a short mustached stranger spreading graffiti all over a large tropical multi-island resort with the use of an invention made by a mysterious scientist and someone who looks very similar to that short mustached stranger going around the resort and cleaning up the mess using an invention made by the same scientist...

Hold on a minute, I think I should have taken a left back in Albuquerque.

Sim City is about a city that has a steady flow of emigration, causing the city to slowly demolish itself, replacing the buildings with green fields and forests, until finally nothing of the city exists any longer.

Civilisation (any version) is about the steady decline of a global society, through a series of wars and Luddite movements resulting in the global population being reduced to a few stone age villages.

I'm sure everyone knows the Paul is dead theory. And if they don't they should look it up. But it doesn't mean that Beatles: Rock Band is about their death when played backwards. If anything it would be about the actor playing Paul dying and then Paul replacing him.

Cause of the backwards thing.

The Sims would be about necromancing people out of rooms with no windows or doors and pools with no ladders and then demolishing their houses.

Apparently some theorists claimed "Beatles" backwards was supposed to be a phone number and they urged people to call it asking for Paul.

Here it was the home number of one of my supply teachers. His name was Paul.

Much confusion ensued.

Red Faction is about miners being suppressed into slavery.

Beyond Good And Evil is about a psychic working with a shady military organisation to rebuild an orphanage.

Planescape: Torment is about a man released from Hell, who then travels the planes loosing companions and memories before dying in a Mortuary. Hm.
