Take a look at your getter and setter for Publisher. It looks like you copied and pasted the code but forgot to change the property because you are getting and setting Title instead. It works better and is less error prone if you use the getter/setter shorthand instead.

namespace Treehouse.Models
{
    public class VideoGame
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Title { get; set; }
        public string Description { get; set; }
        public string[] Characters { get; set; }
        public string Publisher { get; set; }
        public string DisplayText {
            get
            {
                return Title + " (" + Publisher +")";
            }
        }
    }
}
