Wouldn't it be sweet to be able to gather up all games into a 
"games"-application, similar to the one used for system settings or the 
games folder in windows vista/7? Since the traditional gnome menu is 
gone we need a new way to gather up games, we have the 
"applications"-lens which is good but it can't give a description of any 
of the games or meta information as: "last played" or "10 hours of total 
game time". Think of it as a mini-Desura or mini-Steam client. Without 
all the extra bling and functions. Just a simple way to organise games 
which can be set as a launcher, which also supports a quick list for 
recently played games.

How about it? Couldn't that be a great addition to the Unity shell? This 
would also encourage gaming on Linux platforms and hopefully also 
developers to start providing Linux-clients.

(Ubuntu should also try to include more games into it's repositories to 
encourage gaming on ubuntu, games like Minecraft which is hugely popular 
should definitely be there as well as Desura)
