Oh god, colons are becoming epidemic in game titles these days, and I'm afraid I'm not going to help any, given that my next project's title is "(something): Project Umbra". I haven't decided what the something is yet.
The thing about colons in game titles is that they make it so you can make spinoffs and 'sequels'. What a 'sequel' entails in gaming is making some new levels, and selling them as a whole new game, for new game price, even though ten man-years went into making the original game and about ten man-weeks went into making the 'sequel'. I believe this is why the colon is out to get us. Certainly it's *my* motivation for having it in my title.
