on something like this the very least you should mentioned what the games are.... what there names....
a couple of things to do...
1. go into safe mode and try using add/remove there... many times if a file is loaded a program can not be uninstalled.. and possibly elements of these games maybe running and that why you can't uninstall themm
2. if they were recently installed.... use your system restore and pick a date that predates the installation.... that will work....
3. go to the manufacutrer website and see if they have any special instructions for removal.... you might want to take a look at the readme file of the game many times they will have specials on remeoval.....
4. now those are the most common things I can think of at the moment i am sure there ways like using a good uninstaller program there of free one out there...... and i am sure other will suggest there favorite meathod of removing stubborn programs.....
5. now the very last resort!!! very last... and that is manually removing.. that means going into the registry and manually removing alll reference to the game! but only do this if you have the confidence and some knowledge of the registry... if you go this route make a backup of the registry before editing!!!..... just in case something goes wrong...

Sorry I was in a rush and I guess I forgot to put the games in. They were CSI Dark Motives and Driv3r.
