The article title for any topic related to video games should be the most common word or phrase used to describe that topic. In particular, if the title of a video game is sufficiently unambiguous compared to any other topics or is considered to be the primary topic, then make that title the title of the article; for example, The Last of Us or Battlefield 1942.
If the common title of the game is ambiguous, an alternate article title will need to be used to distinguish it from other similarly named games, series, characters, movies, books, terms, or other topics. Natural disambiguation may be used if the game has an alternate title that is also commonly used to refer to it, such as the full title including subtitle; for example Halo: Combat Evolved. Failing that, then parenthetical disambiguation may be needed – use the most appropriate method as described in the sections below.
