My current (kde) desktop has "Arcade", "Board Games" and "Card
Games".  A random example, "Nibbles" is a board game;
/usr/share/applications/gnome-gnibbles.desktop contains:

Categories=GNOME;GTK;Game;ArcadeGame;X-Red-Hat-Base;

and the icon lives in the "Arcade" submenu.  So I think this is
already set up.  In fact, looking through all .desktop files gives:

hippogriff:/usr/share/applications> grep -i Categories *|grep -i game
gnome-blackjack.desktop:Categories=GNOME;GTK;Game;CardGame;X-Red-Hat-Base;
gnome-freecell.desktop:Categories=GNOME;GTK;Game;CardGame;X-Red-Hat-Base;
gnome-gataxx.desktop:Categories=GNOME;GTK;Game;BoardGame;X-Red-Hat-Base;
gnome-glines.desktop:Categories=GNOME;GTK;Game;LogicGame;X-Red-Hat-Base;
gnome-gnect.desktop:Categories=GNOME;GTK;Game;LogicGame;X-Red-Hat-Base;
gnome-gnibbles.desktop:Categories=GNOME;GTK;Game;ArcadeGame;X-Red-Hat-Base;
gnome-gnobots2.desktop:Categories=GNOME;GTK;Game;ArcadeGame;X-Red-Hat-Base;
gnome-gnomine.desktop:Categories=GNOME;GTK;Game;LogicGame;X-Red-Hat-Base;
gnome-gnotravex.desktop:Categories=GNOME;GTK;Game;LogicGame;X-Red-Hat-Base;
gnome-gnotski.desktop:Categories=GNOME;GTK;Game;LogicGame;X-Red-Hat-Base;
gnome-gtali.desktop:Categories=GNOME;GTK;Game;X-Red-Hat-Base;
gnome-iagno.desktop:Categories=GNOME;GTK;Game;X-Red-Hat-Base;
gnome-mahjongg.desktop:Categories=GNOME;GTK;Game;BoardGame;X-Red-Hat-Base;
gnome-same-gnome.desktop:Categories=GNOME;GTK;Game;LogicGame;X-Red-Hat-Base;
gnome-sol.desktop:Categories=GNOME;GTK;Game;CardGame;X-Red-Hat-Base;

So it looks like these categories have already been decided upon but
things haven't been completely implemented in the desktop
environments.  (For example, KDE doesn't have a submenu for
"LogicGame".)
