localhost ~ # emerge -aC Ataxx

localhost ~ # emerge -aC gataxx

You can't uninstall the basic GNOME games (like Ataxx) individually because one package, gnome-games, supplies them all. Uninstall that package to get rid of them all, or edit the Applications menu (right-click) if you want to hide some but keep others.
To find out which package owns a file, e.g., /usr/bin/gataxx: | Code: | emerge -av gentoolkit
equery belongs /usr/bin/gataxx |
Edit: Typo in package name.

| Or maybe just cat /var/lib/portage/world, although that will only show explicitly emerged packages and not dependancies that were pulled in by e.g. gnome/kde/whatever. grep it for games if you feel the need (not sure if you mean you want rid of all games on the system(s)) |

Did you follow my instructions above, reiterated by PaulBredbury? 
emerge -av gentoolkit. That package provides equery and other important package management tools.
