Showlist:
Title hover should say "Click here for more info"
Previews, when more previews are available: "Click here for more previews" or
maybe just a link below it that says that.
The ratings: "Click here to add your own rating"
Install: "Right click to download without installing"

Moreinfo:
Same thing

It would be prepended with the caption and then a dash, if a caption is available.

Reproducible: Always

The showlist title tag for the links were removed intentionally, when the page
was redesigned by silverorange.

The previews image on showlist doesn't have that particular context anyway, it
probably could be unlinked and be fine, in this case, it links to the moreinfo
page itself, so the tip there, is both unneeded and false. People tend to know
by context clues on a page, where a link is going to take them, title tags
everywhere won't improve that sitaution.

Adding more noise discredits the title tags that are used to provide signal
where it makes a bit of sense to do so. I don't see how adding title tags that
aren't intuitive improves the usability of the page, I see it as making it more
noisy and title tags that say what the user already knows, are worthless.

Previews on moreinfo is another matter, addressed by a seperate bug, Bug 275158.

In general, saying "click here" everywhere is just bad practice for a
professional website.
