First off this seems more of a linuxgames.com sort of thing not something
for the linux game development center.

Otherwise I just don't know how usefull such a thing would be.  In general
you simply want as little output from "ps" as possible.  Probably the
hardest thing is making sure you get a well supported 3d card (assuming
3d games).
