This is very close! The only issue you have is the quantifier "much" in front of "games."
"Games" is a count noun. We can tell what count nouns are by whether or not we can add an "s" to them, and whether or not we can count them. Here, obviously, you have an "s," pluralizing "game" to "games."
Any time you have a count noun, you have to use "many" instead of "much." Much is used for noncount nouns, e.g. "He has too much ice cream," "he has too much rice" or "he has too much sand in his shoes."
"Many" is the quantifier we use for count nouns. So here, we would say "he has too many games" because we can actually count the games. Maybe he has 5, 10, or 100. We can also say "He has too many apples," "he has too many dogs," "he has too many cars," etc.
So in short:
Much - noncount nouns
Many - count nouns
Does that answer your question?

Hi Heidi! Yes, you can say "his situation makes us worried." That's completely grammatical.
You can also say:
"His situation worries us."
"We're worried about his situation."
"His situation is worrying."
These are all grammatical and mean the same thing. :)
