If you need to manually download the games, then go to 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/k/kdegames-kde4/ 
or 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/k/kdegames/

Just make sure that you get the correct version for the KDE (3.5.10, 4.3, 4.4, 
etc) you are using and look for the dependencies and other things that Jonas 
said in a different email.

You can find any package somewhere in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool, 
that is the same place that KPackageKit gets it from.  Using google, type in

     <what-you-want> site:http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool

replacing <what-you-want> with the package you are looking for.
