Title:
  Show System Requirements for Paid (Also Free?) Games

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  Whenever a user is going to download a game from Software Center, he
  would like to know that if the game is compatible with his system or
  not. This is more prominent particularly with paid games because a
  user with low system requirements may purchase a game only  to find
  later that it won't work with his system.

  For example games available for purchase like Steel Storm have heavy
  requirements like 2 GB recommended RAM, 512 recommended video memory,
  a decent graphic card from ATI/NVIDIA  etc. Same is the case with
  Vendetta online.

  Users should be clearly communicated what are the system requirements
  needed to run the game. It can be in the form of an external link or
  with in the game description or somewhere else. Most of the online
  game distribution services do it and it is really important for users.
