Not clear about style guidelines for subtitles

Hi everyone,

I just received the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City soundtrack of the Emotion 98.3 radio station in my mail today.
When tagging my music I always use the MusicBrainz style guidelines… but I got stuck on one bit here.

Is ‘Vice City’ considered to be a subtitle of ‘Grand Theft Auto’? The styling on the front cover and the side doesn’t seem to indicate that, but the game was released as ‘Grand Theft Auto: Vice City’. Even on the old website I found thanks to the wayback machine the album got marketed as ‘Grand Theft Auto: Vice City O.S.T. - Volume 3: Emotion 98.3’.

So… which one would be the correct one according to the MusicBrainz style guidelines?

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City O.S.T. - Volume 3: Emotion 98.3
or
Grand Theft Auto Vice City O.S.T. - Volume 3: Emotion 98.3

Hope someone can make it clear!

Cheers,
Ronan

Title has a colon it it. Or always has whenever I have seen it written.
