Hi Paul, I'd suggest letting /boot live in / (/boot can fill with old kernels if you do not keep a close eye on them!) Unless you are expecting to launch huge applications (not games, as they do not like using swap) 2GB is enough for swap My / partition which has boot, my log files and data files for my myriad of applications still only uses 7.2Gb So, even to be cautious where your games are installed, I'd think 20 GB for / would be ample and allocate the rest to home.
I'm not a gamer, but a good resource to have these questions answered is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve which includes a link IRC chat if you want to ask for a quick reply as to where the data is stored and confirming if having 20 Gb of / will leave you plenty of room. Regards, Phill.
