I'd say that FORCE is best, since we don't have to decide what it means as 
quickly :*)

But I think you should also be open to changing the name later, after its taken 
more concrete form and before it is fully realized. Often, naming things is 
easier after there's a better idea of what the game is really about. Sometimes 
it'll be just some chance line from the game itself that stands out, or some 
explanation to a player that suddenly makes everything click.

1. FORCE
2. XenoForge
3. FORCE
4. FRINGE
5. Freetopia

Remember that searching for gaming information about "FORM" on Google is likely 
to provide a lot of fluff!
