how to download games from other web sites?

Which ones, and from where? There is no need to shout either.

Maybe you should look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games
A list of Games avalaible for Ubntu and some HowTo's.

p.s. Hit your caps-lock

More details about which sites you are visiting and which games you would like to play are needed in order to help you. As a general rule, be specific as possible and we'll be able to start solving problems and concerns faster.

Let use know and we'll help as best we can.

As a guess (as it comes up a lot), you might be wanting to install the flash plugin for your web browser to enable many of the web-based game sites out there.

To do that you will need to install the nonfree (as in freedom... it still doesn't cost anything) flash plugin.

To do this, open up a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and type:

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

after it is installed, restart you browser and try using the web games again (if they are flash games).
