For this i had a new idea :) I have created another mock up this time
focusing on getting a feel for the games in fedora, the idea i had was to
use more of a slide show / featured / spot light area at the top of the page
to show users straight away what's going on in the games spin, rather than
having to navigate to get info. This would also incorporate the top 10,
which i have dropped from the browser.

No.

Agreed, when i was making the mock I was thinking it looked busy.

I think you're right, a search box would be far more beneficial that
lettered tabs. I also think the method used to catalog spins on the
spins.fedoraproject.org page would also suite the games spin as stats and a
brief could be presented clearly. It would be much better than a screen shot
in a box which wouldn't allow for much writing to be displayed.
