Games
The games section is all about your games. The games you own games, you play or you rate. It has the Common Layout on the left and your game information on the right. Most everything is editable from your Game Collection page (which lists all your games you've marked as owned, rated, marked to be notified about new content, etc) or the individual game's page at the bottom. Note that you don't have to own a game for it to appear on this page; it will also be in your list if you've rated it, or asked to be notified of new content, etc.
