Bug Description

I was in the software center and i was looking for the FPS games and its under arcade and I think it should have a genre to itself. They arent too obvious when browsing the games and they are a recognizable genre in game. Aside from not really being obvious I think they should have a spotlight because they are the most graphically appealing games in the repo.

There are many Shooter games, some of them use the Arcade subcategory, others use the Action subcategory. There should be a separate Shooter subcategory for First person shooters and shoot'em ups to be able to easily find them.

- a change to the categorization XML
- a new icon for the subcategory.
