Default Renaming Pages yet Worried about Search Engines

Hello all. When I was using Frontpage, (erRRR) I had very stupidly given my files names like: Unreal Tournament 2003 Strategy Guide, thus making URLs look like this:

I am using Dreamweaver now, and I would like to update all of my file names. Since Dreamweaver is my best friend, it will change all the references to the page so they will redirect to the newly named page. The thing is, I am worried about search engines. If I rename a quarter of the page on my site, aren't search engines going to get screwed up?
The thing is, its really about time I updated these file names. I have a feeling that in the long run they will only cause me more problems.
Any thoughs...? :)
