Post awesome subtitles for game names

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Considering the tone and quality of the soundtrack, it's probably one of the most apt game titles ever.

Even the JP subtitle (Nocturne in the Moonlight) works well, too.
 
The Matsuno and Queen ones are all great, and so are Kojima's. Snake Eater is perfect 60s spy flick.

But The Phantom Pain is possibly the most apt subtitle of any because of how symbolic it became not only for the game (the literal reason and the twist reason) but also for the game developer.

Aesthetically I disliked it at first compared to beauts like Snake Eater or Let Us Cling Together but it the end it was the most fitting and perfect subtitle.
 
King's Quest V: Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder!

King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow

Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers

Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven

Ultima VI: The False Prophet

Leisure Suit Larry: Love for Sail!
 
A Link Between Worlds is the best one because it works on so many levels. MAJOR SPOILERS:
We have the connection between the two worlds (Hyrule and Lorule), Link traversing both of those worlds, Lorule's Link (Ravio) traversing both worlds as well, Link being physically 3D but able to traverse the 2D world via his wall-merging ability, and the ability to play the 3DS in either 2D or 3D mode, a connection between the two dimensional and three dimension space.

The Last Blade 2's Japanese subtitle translates to something along the lines of "The Flower that Blooms in the Moonlight, the Flower that Falls Apart". Poetic. The full Japanese name is even longer as it's something like "Bakumatsu Romance: The Second Act - Moonlight Swordsman - The Flower that Blooms in Midnight, the Flower that Falls Apart". I see why they went with "The Last Blade 2" in America.
 
X-Men: Children of the Atom
Gabriel Knight: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned

...and the awesome puns of the King's Quest series.
