I still don’t understand why we can’t name games the legitimate way they are stylized by the publisher, developer and game historians. Instead you only allow how some moronic graphic artist has portrayed the name on the front or spine artwork. For example, the name should be "LittleBigPlanet" and not "LittleBIGPlanet" for the PSP. At least it’s stylized correctly FOUR TIMES on the back cover!!!
The Style guide only states, “Use the item's regional release title, written in the language written on the case…". I can’t find any reference stating we can only use the information on the front and spine. Are we to ignore what is printed on the back of the case or dismiss a game’s trademarked name? To hell with legal accuracy, right?
I still would go for the front title, as most games don't have backs in this database.
And that its 'stylized correctly four times on the back cover!!!' come on. Did you check the rest of the titles from littlebigplant in all the platforms?
As well as the correct spelling of “LittleBigPlanet” appearing 4 times on the PSP back cover, it appears 3 times on the back of the PS3 version, and 3 times on the PS Vita. For LittleBigPlanet 2 (PS3), 3 times and for LittleBigPlanet 3 (PS4), 2 times.
It's most likely stated at least 3 times on the back of your PSP game: LittleBIGPlanet - Creator's Edition [NL][DE][IT][FR]. Making false assumptions is foolish before doing your own research.
You are still missing the point, (almost) no one looks at the back!
Funny you call this research. Its not science, its a name.

This is correct. It should be put as LittleBigPlanet.
Spines can't be used as a general rule because many games have incomplete titles on the spine, or do not have spine titles at all. But we know the vast majority of games do have their full title on the front of the packaging.
