very cool proposal! the biggest problem, as i see it, is that most games don't
include a icon, or if it does, the icon is very low res. It would because of 
this be
difficult to distinguish the games using the cover flow technique: it would be 
like
browsing in itunes without cover images. Have to think about an alternative 
solution...

aww, nice! I have created a test build with cover flow.

You can change to "flow view" by clicking on the preferences button and then 
select
"Flow view" from the menu. Be aware that it's a bit slow, it is also not as 
sexy as
Apple's implementation:) Search doesn't work yet.
