Browsing in Chrome at the moment, think you should take the hover titles off as they get in the way of the nice drop down menus. I'm guessing they'll be in the 'alt' or 'title' html tags :)

I too find they get in the way. I don't know whether it's just in Chrome. :?

It doen't seem to bother me in IE8,9,FF.
Lets open it up for a vote!
(there are slight SEO advantages to title tags)

But is the SEO needed? I've not seen any adverts on the site for ppc? I see you've put Prelude or Lude Generation in every tag ;)

IMO, you don't need lude generation for SEO. If users are searching Lude Generation they clearly know the site is here already and will be looking for it in the results, also it's the domain name which will carry more weight than title tags. Could you put them in the alt tags instead?

But you need to keep your mouse over it to see what's on the drop down menus

What about a compromise...

Just take it off the top line of the menu so when the drop down shows there isn't something in the way of the first item but leave them on the items in the drop down list. That way you still get SEO content and it's not getting in the way. Also it's less to delete which is always nice :)
