The reason they are allowed to bring out games now with names of the past, is that they never trade maked game names back then, so you could easily just bring out a game called spore. As for Big Mac, it just wasn't a big enough title to warrent attention 
APB (the Realtime worlds are doing) bought the name APB from Atari (the top down driving game) so they could use it. Same for Crackdown - Sega had the name and I think Microsoft bought it.
But unless you trademark it, anyone can use it....
