c) It's just wrong without an Of in it. See below:
Baldur's Gate: Sword Coast Tales
Baldur's Gate 2: Amnish Shadows
Baldur's Gate 2: Bhaal his Throne
Icewind Dale: Winter's Heart
Icewind Dale: The Luremaster's Trials
Neverwinter Nights: In the Shadow cast by Undrentide
Neverwinter Nights: Hordes from the Underdark
Neverwinter Nights 2: The Mask that Betrayer has
Ya, but they could've come up with something completely different, that still sounds good. Check this:

Warcraft: Orcs and Humans
Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness
Warcraft 2: Beyond the Dark Portal
Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos
Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne

2 out of 5 only. And they all sound good.


Just lack of imagination on their part.

(OK, a cookie for anyone who invents the best subtitles for the games mentioned above without using 'of')
