Or am I misunderstanding what's being shown.  I would think that gnome-games- would require only a few other packages within the gnome family mostly.

The list contains all recursive dependencies of gnome-games,
i.e. all the dependencies that gnome-games' dependencies have.
Take a look at the bottom of gnome2-games/Makefile to see
the direct dependencies (quite a lot, actually).
