The wiki is a great place to do this type of community labeling of games. See 
<http://www.ludism.org/ppwiki/TaxonomyOfPiecepackGames> and 
<http://www.ludism.org/ppwiki/GameMechanics> for the current break down. I 
have added a ThemeAdultCategory. We can add any categories or mechanics that 
we want. As the community adds info, the resource gets more and more useful. 

Contact me via email or Instant messenger if you would like to help out, but 
would like a little wiki primer prior to starting.. all of my info is 
available at <http://www.ludism.org/ppwiki/JonathanDietrich>
