The most common title
So I’m thinking to myself, what do you suppose is the most common word in video game titles? I’m willing to bet it’s "super." I mean, think about it. The tradition of labeling a game — especially a sequel — "Super Such-and-such" is long-established. There was a whole slew of games on the Super Nintendo that were all Super. There are, what, thirty or forty game titles that begin with the phrase "Super Mario." So, yeah, I’m going Super on this one.
Thoughts? Any other excessively-used video game title words anybody can come up with? And don’t give me bullshit like "2" or trivial words like "the" or "and." You know what I’m talking about.
I’d be inclined to guess the same. I’d also guess that “Adventure(s)” is also a pretty common one, maybe not so much if you count them separately. Perhaps “Legend(s)” is a contender, as well.
