For the Android Market we can be pragmatic. Since the users are game-oriented (as written by Sev in his reply) I would suggest for single game engines (and maybe also for engines support a few games) to use the game name rather than the engine name here. So 'ScummVM plugin: Soltys' is fine for me. What I would not like to see is a name that is neither the engine name nor a list of game names.
