Is this title screen good....

Physically yes, but it seemed that the font's trying to break out with the theme you wanted to come up with. What's up with using a hip-hop font if your game would be set in High Fantasy?

No.  That dragon looks very cut-out - the edges are VERY noticeably ragged, and the flame is very pixelated.  I was only able to read "Nathan Productions" after looking at your username, and the type for the game's name is very out of place - it's even half-overlapping the dragon's teeth!  Also, the entire thing doesn't mesh together well.  It looks like a test screen for a movie - you know, where they add the background and effects and things in later?

Simplify the text.  Make a different dragon, and I do mean *make* - and when you do, make sure he actually looks like he's part of the screen, right now he's extremely non-threateningly looking off into lala land. If you do swipe a graphic, at least do yourself a favor and blur the edges a bit.
 
I agree with what Tindy said, and I wanna throw this out: I hope you weren't trying to make dragon plural there. Possessive doesn't make sense, and it would be embarrassing to have a grammatical gaffe on your title screen. :x
 
At first I thought you had an interesting texture going on there, and then I realized that I really need to clean my screen.

Anyway, to follow up on what Tindy and Dung Beetle said, I can almost guarantee that your in-game graphics look nothing like what that dragon looks like. You need to make sure everything, including your title screen, is consistent with whatever you're working with. The font is a graffiti font, and unless you're making some hip-hop based fantasy theme (Samurai Champloo comes to mind), then it needs to go. If that is in fact what you're doing (which I highly doubt, I'm guessing you just picked that font because it looked cool), then your dragon needs to look similar.

Otherwise, spice up the background a bit. A plain black background is just not really that effective with what you're going for visually. Add some textures, maybe a translucent scene of someone fighting a dragon or a town getting burned by one or something.
 
I'm no professional, but remove the text and slap on a few Photoshop filters, and add the title in a different font.
You could do this, or start from scratch.

Dragon : Not bad. (If you make it, it is very good, but If you get it from another...then it's soso)
Text : It didn't fits to dragon. you should try to make change!
