Installed Games

[Bruno Augusto Clemente de Assis]

I think we should keep at least one or two games. Cut them off wouldn't  be
nice. Still there is people who play games in desktop, i'm one of them,
although not frequently. +1 to (Solitaire, Minesweeper, Chess) they are
extremely useful when your internet is off or you are waiting for someone.
