Games/Apps in general or within Sugar itself? We have restrictions in terms of the types of games we will host, e.g., no games that promote violence, but we don't restrict access in any way to the games that we do host. That said, we have several mechanisms for steering a child or teacher to content of interest, including recommend activities, collections, reviews, categories, etc. It would be interesting to learn more about how these are used and suggestions for improvements. There are also, external to Sugar, guides, social networks, etc. that play an important role. We are encouraging a documentation format for activities that give some guidance on how to use the activities for learning.
