That should have been in there - good catch.

https://github.com/danbri/schemaorg/commit/2f53c4130a4d7af188b2bb84b49c2ad4f5de59a2
->
http://sdo-venkman.appspot.com/VideoGame
http://sdo-venkman.appspot.com/trailer

Also some other game-related tweaks and polishing just committed:

* Added whitespace, prepositions, hyperlinks, final full stops to some new
definitions.
* Marked 'gameServer' and 'game' as mutual inverses.
* Renamed 'help' as 'softwareHelp', 'tip' as 'gameTip' to better indicate
their topical focus.

These recent few edits mean docs/releases.html needs an update tomorrow.
But things are looking better for all the discussion - thanks all :)
