    Letters Replaced by Numbers in Title

    Concept »

    Some games replace letters or words in a title with numbers or symbols, usually to add more of a "badass edge" to them.

    So does it have to be numbers replacing individual letters? Because I'm certain there will eventually be a crappy video game tie-in to Shrek Goes Fourth, and it seems to me that would fit here quite nicely.

    I don't think Shrek Goes fourth should count at all. If it was something like. "Shrek goes 4 it". Then that's one for sure.
    I guess it depends on whether  fourth is '4th' or 'fourth'.

    Yeah Shrek Goes Fourth wouldn't count, it has to be "Shrek is all 4 lame video games" or something along those lines

    Eh, I don't see how a lot of the ones on the list work actually. Ones like Left 4 Dead I can understand having the double meaning, but Wipeout or Donkey Kong?

    Bad pun nomenclature should be a separate concept page.

    I was wondering if Banjo-Tooie (the sequel to Banjo-Kazooie) should get at least an honorable mention? I must admit it's quite heavily in the "Bad pun nomenclature" -territory.
