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.

Clarification

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.
