I think it's better if we just have a bunch of more generic descriptors, and then we assign a few to each game. For example:
Toyota Celica GT Rally: Simulation, Racing, 3D vector
R-Type 2: Shoot 'em up, Horizontal scrolling
This system is best I think, but it also requires that the user be able to search by more than one category. Whether you were interested in games that were 3D vector and didn't care what genre it was, or if you were only interested in vertically scrolling platformers, this system works.

I can search for all action games, but I can't search for all action + released in 1990, for example, as it tells me there would be too many results and that I should (ironically) add more constraints to the search.
