Less genres, add subgenres!

In the early days of LB, the scraper it used resulted in some near-useless genre tags. I would have "RPG", "Role Playing Game", "Role-Playing Game", "Role Playing" and "Role Playing Game". It came down to me editing the XML manually. Thankfully the LB DB has a preset selection of genres, but some more refinement is needed in certain genres that are much too broad to facilitate easy lookup. Of course, it should be another predetermined subset so we don't have "Hockey", "Ice Hockey", "Ice-Hockey" and "Winter Stick Sports" though. An example would be:

  • RPG
    • Turn Based
    • Action
    • Strategy
  • Sports
    • American Football
    • Football
    • Tennis
    • (...etc...)
  • Shooter
    • Shmup
    • First Person Shooter
    • Third Person Shooter
    • On Rails
  • Like 2
