:/  I'm really at a loss for what to do here. For some games, I've
placed windows side-by-side, and have a screenshot of them both
together. For others I zoomed in and cropped. Either way looks pretty
bad.

OK, so it seems like it'd be good to go through GNOME and start adding
the <project_name> tag to all the appdata files, so the software center
shows GNOME Files, GNOME Documents, etc. instead of the generic names.
And <project_group> as well. I can do this for the core apps if this is
what you want to happen?

Just GNOME is fine for me; no need to translate that!
