No name will ever be ideal for every scenario. It always has pros and cons. But statistically, most people looking for apps are looking for games. So this name is better for the majority of the cases. So I'd guess the pros outweigh the cons.

only thing it doesn't work for is books. I guess Play is better than Google Media.
