Why the definite article?

Hi,

why do the following titles contain the definite article and not the indefinite article:

Gunship: The Helicopter Simulation (name of a computer game)
Bridge: The English Magazine for Students (name of a magazine)

The above are real life examples.
  

Top answer

Titles most often have definite articles, because it refers to a specific referenced thing. g. The Helicopter Simulation - refers to one specific game in which the gamer flies a helicopter.
