yep, gnome depends on gnome-games.  However, the gnome package is a 
metapackage that contains very little itself - it's just there to pull 
in all the other packages you need for a full gnome installation.  The 
same applies to gnome-desktop-environment.

So you could probably remove it, if you wanted.  However I can't see any 
reason in doing so, unless your disk space is *REALLY* limited. 
gnome-games isn't exactly huge :)
