A common mistake. :-)

I don't know, but regardless, it's a problem that wouldn't happen if 
that section didn't exist! I doubt the "Games" section in its current 
state actually helps anyone (especially since it doesn't seem to be 
navigable from the front page). A short page entitled "Where can I find 
more games?" might be helpful, but no more than that.

I suggest concentrating instead on things people might have problems 
with. For example:

*   If a program (such as a game) causes my screen to go black, how can
     I reliably get out of it? Searching for "fixing screen that's gone
     black" returns no results.

*   In the default install, there are at least three things I might do
     accidentally that will make all my windows disappear. How can I
     undo them? When I search for "all of my windows have disappeared",
     Ubuntu Help returns no results.

Cheers
