TITLE SCREEN TITLE NAME QUESTIONS

I've been wondering, how are people making such really nice title names on their title screens? Example for you is:
RE:Alistair++

Skyhelm Prophecies: The Rise of Shadows
(http://rpgmaker.net/media/content/games/3082/screenshots/Logo_para_o_RPGMAKER_NET.png)
Adela Isra: The Butterfly Paradox
(http://rpgmaker.net/games/1599/)
Anyway, these are just very few games that came to mind immediately, there are tons more out there that people are doing this. Can someone please explain to me how to do this? I know it cannot be just simply using a particular font, I've been out and looking for (honestly) at least 3 - 4 hours straight, using different font sites and even utilizing google and bing search engines, but I still cannot find any fonts that are nice and unique such as these. I have re-created my title screen in attempts to make this new font, but I have had no luck...
Thanks a lot, I know this is probably a tall request to be making, or a silly one, either way - Thank you in advance.
(Mind you I only have Photoshop Elements - which does not have the same thing as the other Photoshop programs I have learned...)

Hmmm...I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, because well, they DO spruce it up in Photoshop. In Photoshop, they can type the font out, then convert it to a raster layer, lock it and but gradients/images in the font itself, then create a layer style that outlines the font in a different color.
If it's a nice font you're looking for, try these ones out:
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/
http://www.alvit.de/blog/article/20-best-license-free-official-fonts
http://fontfabric.com/
They're generally for graphics designers though, so it might not be what you are looking for. If you are interested, Adobe does offer a 30 day free trial of Photoshop, here at this link: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop
If you're not so picky, you can just request me to do a title for you with a specific font, color/image/theme, because I'd be happy to help you out.

I'm definitely going to look into those fonts and also going to try and find out what this Raster Layer thing is myself, thanks for that information.
If your wanting me to state a specific color/image/theme, then, the color could be something somber or something - because these people are thrown into a life of trouble and constant hardship in my game without them even attempting to have it happen. The image, maybe something that reflects a large fantasy city or even something that can get the feeling of mystery across, and as for theme... Did I explain that enough in the previous information? Basically its a large fantasy/mystery; so something that's mysterious or something... Again, please feel free to do as you please though, I got confused and thought that this is the information you wanted, but if it wasn't, then ignore this. :)
author=SayaWould it be OK if I accepted this offer? I'm not really picky about it, you can see what I'm currently using (which is proof that I'm not picky), anything you make would be just fine. ^.^

http://www.dafont.com also has a great selection of free fonts.
The other thing I do when i want to make some neat effect is google "Photoshop tutorial <the-effect-i-want>". Usually someone has made a tutorial kind of what I want to do!

See, I've tried that, but I'm not sure how to word the effect I'm wanting on the fonts. I guess I could try just doing a google for Photoshop Font Effects or something like that...
Thanks for the link, btw, that site had some pretty good stuff.
Sorry for the wait, I had to do a lot of things yesterday. Um, this is for this game, right? Just to be sure. Also, I would like for you to specify which font you'd like me to use, or at least provide a number of potential ones, since font is usually a sensitive topic when it comes to title screens.
I should have something for you soon enough.
