the sentence at the top of the manage games screen talks about what that is

Took me a while to understand how this worked. Sorry man, I'm not trying to be a dick. =) It's just... not straight forward to me. I get it now, but... something that should be easy, for some reason caused me to have to think more than I think it should of. Maybe I'm just stupid, I can live with being stupid, I have for almost 40 years I suppose. =)

Well, heres the factors that led to this design:
1: i wanted to maintain the organization consistency with the import screen (whee!
)
2: i wanted a way to select arbitrary list of games for category management
3: i was running very low on column space in the games manager table
I didnt want a dedicated column for (2) because of (3) especially if it would only occasionally be used for category management (and the rest of the time you were trying to find a game to edit)
Thankfully, because of (1), ive already been including categories as tags, so adding a a checkbox next to that for category management should already make sense.
Only problem was where to stick the pesky check-all box, so i added it next to Description, since tags are in that column... unfortunately (1) prevented me from renaming that column, but i can agree its mildly uncertain. how about...
Description - Select []
instead? (clicking word Select is label for check-all checkbox). would be consistent with Selected: at the bottom too.

I've done the Description - Select[] thing to help explain what that is in the next beta.
