can you please give a specific example of a game you are trying to
download, to make sure it's not a server issue?

Also, is it only games that aren't installing, or is it any program? 

Where are you installing from (i.e. synaptic, USC, apt-get, etc)?

try running one of the games from the command-line, and if it returns an
error, come back with that error message...it will help determine what's
wrong. (to run one from the command line, right-click the menu-bar, go
to Edit Menus, navigate to one of the failing programs, right-click it's
launcher and hit "properties", then copy-paste the command listed under
the 'command' section into a terminal).

Also, Please try installing one of the games that is failing through
Synaptic Package Manager) or from the command line via "sudo apt-get
install <packagename>". if/when it returns an error, please copy-paste
the exact error message in your next email.

Hope that helps!
