To me, honestly, no much. I can see the SEO efforts: if you have to talk about a game called "suckass" probably... very few people will click on the title. But when they put [GTA] and [BALDUR's GATE] for a generic fantasy game where you steal stuff, you can see the magazine publisher is that hungry for click.

What really annoy when the don't put the actual name of the game in the title. Specifically when it's about indie developers that need to push their game's name out there! Disrespectful for both reader and dev.

Not only that one, there are a bunch of news I had to add the title manually or keep looking for the same news on different sources.
