I like it and I have a suggestion:
Instead of randomly selecting a game, we could display a "Pick of the
month" and select a game which is especially nice every month. The past
picks of the month could be archived so that we end up with a list of
recommendations. This is very helpful because it's hard to find the best
games among the huge amount we have in Debian. Also, the best games are
better for advertising the games team than random games. I got the idea
from here:

On the one hand I like the tasks page. On the other hand this could
become a reinvention of blends.debian.org and you should consider if
that's a good idea. blends.debian.org has already cool features like
letting the user supply translations.
