I'm not sure if I understand your questions but I think you're trying
build your own custom LiveCD with games packages hence
fedora-livecd-games.

Here is what I had to do to build fedora-livecd-office and
fedora-livecd-development LiveCD.
First, update fedora-livecd.spec and build fedora-livecd-office and
fedora-livecd-development rpms simliar to fedora-livecd-desktop rpm.
Then, copy those rpms into your livecd install local repostitory
(rpms). Make sure to get the latest kernel rpm from updates/testing
and run createrepo in your i386 updates and rpms dir.
Now, run your own livecd build script to include (--package option)
your own custom rpm.

You'll find all the files mentioned above in following location:
