I bought Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies pretty much purely because I liked the title (though I did check reviews to make sure it was half-decent before I committed, admittedly, and I was only paying 'used' price, but I've never played a DQ game). Still haven't played it, but I like just looking up at the box on the shelf and imagining what riches await me. The box art doesn't particularly tie-in with the title, although there is some sort of portal on the front cover, revealing a glimpse of a starry sky behind the main picture. In some ways this is even better though, as it's that tiny hint of a fantastical world waiting to be discovered without giving anything away, that I really like.
Final Fantasy Grimore of the Rift has to be a strong contender here. I've never played the game but if anyone who has can explain why in God's name Square Enix called the game that I'd give them a medal or something. South Park the Fractured Butt Whole is the first genius one that comes to mind.
Duty Calls (a CoD parody game made by EA)
South Park: The Fractured But Whole
Super Metroid (It's what the title says it is: A Superior version of Metroid)

Ever since the changeover from Dragon Warrior to Dragon Quest starting with VIII, I've been a big fan of the English subtitles for the mainline DQ games, and some of the spin-offs too:
II - Luminaries of the Legendary Line
III - The Seeds of Salvation
IV - Chapters of the Chosen
V - Hand of the Heavenly Bride
VI - Realms of Revelation (Realms of Reverie in Europe)
VII - Fragments of the Forgotten Past
VIII - Journey of the Cursed King
IX - Sentinels of the Starry Skies
Heroes - The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below
