'Oddworld: Abe's Rhapsoddy'.

I've always linked Abe's Oddysee to Homer's Odyssey (purely from titles).
Homer's Odyssey is an epic poem, a Rhapsody is 'a portion of an epic poem adapted for recitation'. The definitions eerily mirror Abe HD, 'adapted for recitation' is to be 'adapted for new platforms and remade'.

I can't think of anything else that both conveys meaning and has 'od/odd' in it.
