The best way would probably be to create a group called "gameusers" with the users that you want to be able to run the games then set the permissions on the games as:
chown root:gameusers /path/to/game
chmod 750 /path/to/game

thanks, I hoped there was a way other than going over all games, but it seems they just threw them all in /usr/bin - so I probably must go over all games one by one.
