I don't think that there is a good way, there are several options:
a: Try and filter the ports completely you can nail 80% of gaming this
way but there are risks you break other applications.
[also if its a few folks on the same LAN playing quake, then you'll
find it very difficult to stop].
b: Use some type of rate limiting on high ports to limit the bandwidth
so that the games are unplayable.
c: Restrict the ability to plug in computers or modify the desktop so
they can't install games to play.
and one that I heard I think on the list in the past:
d: Try and find someone doing it and fire them. The hysteria around it
will prevent anyone from even thinking about playing games. Ugly, but
effective.
e: Allow them to do it under controlled circumstances. After hours,
at weekends etc.
Regards,
Neil.
