[mizinamo]

No, "games" is plural, so needs plural verb "are".

[timtz75]

Collective noun. Singular entity...

[bonbayel]

I don't think so in the case. It's just plain plural. At least in AE.

Multiple translations have already been included for this sentence, including "throughout the world". It's a matter of time until someone else suggests "throughout the entire world". This is not a personal reply, but this sentence was created over 2 years ago, there's no question pertaining to the Greek part and 8/13 comments are about synonymous phrases in English, so there's probably not much this discussion can offer and, therefore, it has now been locked.
