Note that the low contrast ratio (400:1) will limit the picture quality, but that isn't as important for games as for video. Similarly the video processing may be somewhat less than stellar, but again it isn't that important for games. I can't comment on how big an image you will get since this depends on the optics and the distance you can get back from the screen. That said, in a small room a 60-70" image should be large enough (and possible). I don't see any mention of price, but for $400-$500 or so this would be an OK choice. Just note that you will have to replace the lamp every year or so (depending on use) and that will cost ~$350 or so. As an LCD based model it may cost more than this ... if so consider a DLP based BenQ, InFocus or Optoma ... you should be able to find one in the $500 range. I can't comment on how this compares to many other similar projectors that would work too, but Sanyo have a long history in projectors so it's a name brand.
