* Italics are preferred: For all types of titles (books, movies, video games, albums, etc.), using italics is the most common and accepted style.
* Quotation marks for shorter works: Quotation marks are typically used for shorter works like songs, individual episodes of a TV show, or chapters within a book. However, they're not used for game titles.
* Consistency is key: Whatever style you choose (italics or quotation marks), be consistent throughout your essay.
Example:
Instead of writing: "I spent hours playing _The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild_," you would write: "I spent hours playing *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild*."
Note: There are some exceptions. Certain style guides might have specific rules. If you're unsure, always consult your professor's instructions or the style guide required for your assignment.
