I don't have the rep needed to suggest synonyms, but nfs-hot-pursuit (9 questions) and need-for-speed-hp (6 questions) refer to the same game and I think they should be merged. It seems like most NFS games are tagged as need-for-speed-[game]
, so I vote for keeping need-for-speed-hp as the master tag and merging the other one into it.

Good catch; synonym created. I went with the majority and made the master tag nfs-hot-pursuit as, while there should be little doubt as to what "NFS" means (in context), "HP" is a much more obscure abbreviation.
I am not a Need for Speed player, but need-for-speed-xyz seems backward to me. NFS is a fairly well-recognized abbreviation. Abbreviations like "HP" and "MW" seem far more ambiguous.
To me, it seems logical to use the full part of the name that is unique to the game (e.g. "Hot Pursuit" or "Most Wanted") and abbreviate the element "Need for Speed", which is common to them all. Especially if need-for-speed-series is also going to be used.
On the other hand, need-for-speed-hp might be a little more discoverable for a user just trying stuff in the tag field to see what pops up.

as well, NFS is a familiar acronym for me.hp
makes me think there was a weird Harry Potter crossover.nfs-game-name-spelled-out
seems more natural.
