@Gump: I don't see that as a compelling reason to add acronyms. Let's try to keep aliases to those that are actually necessary to assist people in finding pages on the site. A good example is the No More Heroes aliases that Linkyshinks suggested - these were critical in order to have the games show up in the drop-down search menu. Another good reason to add an alias would be games or characters that are named differently across regions.
Add alias: Colossus of Rhodes to Helios. I basically talk about the Colossus of Rhodes in the page, it is one of the bosses Kratos fights in God of War 2.
" http://www.giantbomb.com/rambo-first-blood-part-ii/61-7663/ Alias: "Secret Command" (European title and the one used for all the re released due to copyright issues with the Rambo name) "
Add the alias Naomi Kimishima to the character Nozomi Weaver. Naomi Kimishima is the character's real name (she goes by Nozomi for most of Trauma Center: Second Opinion).

" http://www.giantbomb.com/jumpstart/62-1302/Jump AheadIt's the UK brandAll the games need similar alias too (by that I mean a complete new name, not just the Jump Ahead title), but I don't feel like checking up on them all at the moment. "
Done. I'll get the others changed when you get the names.
" Madden NFL '95, add the alias Madden '95, that is what the Game Boy version released as. Madden NFL 96, add the alias Madden 96, same reason as above. "

Burai Fighter, add the alias' Burai Fighter Deluxe (it's Game Boy release title) and Space Marauder and Burai Fighter Color (it's Game Boy Color release titles.)

These are all done except for the Brain Age Express: Sudoku one. Let's wait until we know what the title is going to be for sure before adding an alias.

But at that point we'd be renaming, not adding an alias. Given Nintendo's naming conventions, it's extremely likely that it will at least have "Brain Age Express" in the title. In fact, there's already a Brain Age Express game to support that. The purpose of an alias is to improve the search, so that even if they don't know the European or Japanese title they can still find the game. Isn't that exactly what "Brain Age Express: Sodoku" would do? To me it seems like a similar situation to the Star Wars: The Old Republic example. It's not an official title (not yet at least) but it will help people find the game.
Warriors Orochi - Orochi Musou Warriors Orochi 2 - Orochi Musou 2, and/or Orochi Musou: Maou Sairin Warriors Orochi Z - Orochi Musou Z. There were a few suspected alternatives, but following Sony's veto on English-localization (which remains uncertain, but is more official than not) so I won't add any of the suspected retitlings.
Dynasty Warriors 2 - Shin Sangoku Musou Dynasty Warriors 3 - Shin Sangoku Musou 2 Dynasty Warriors 4 - Shin Sangoku Musou 3 Dynasty Warriors 5 - Shin Sangoku Musou 4 Dynasty Warriors 6 - Shin Sangoku Musou 5 I've never understood why Koei started renumbering the Sangoku Musou series after the 1-on-1 fighting game "Sangoku Musou", then went back and called their English-localized version "DW2", but these original names are used about half the time by myself and the people at Koei Warriors, among others. Since the "Devil Kings" series can be searched for by its alternate title "Devil Kings" I think it's also fitting that the Musou games receive the same alias for people searching for those.
