Here is how you fix this problem: Hold both the power button AND the volume UP button down at the same time for about 5-10 seconds it should restart. You don't lose any info doing this.

    You hold down the power button AND the volume up button at the same time, not just the power button.

I had the same thing, was browsing eBay and it froze. I couldn't turn it off. Holding the power button for 15 seconds did nothing. I left it overnight and it was still the same this morning. It ran out of power and am now recharging and seems to be ok so far.

Well, bro! There is something wrong with your tab, maybe the CPU of the tab can not support the game, because RAM is too low, you can try to unplug the battery and plug again, then try to turn on the tab, but there is danger that data in the tab may lose. If the tab can not work after you have unplugged the batetery and turn on again, I think you should ask help for service center.

More than likely holding down the power button until it powers down will do the trick. If not it will eventually drain itself to the point of powering off, then simply feed it power and power it back up.

Hold the power button down for up to 15 seconds. This should hard reset it. Not to be confused with erasing data.

How to install a game on my samsung galaxy tab?

Well, there is a place called "Android Market" or similar.

If your desired game can be found there, simply download and install the game app and you can enjoy the fun.

If the game can't be found, or it requires a fee to play. You'll probably need to root the device. Here is a 1-click Android-Root solution for your reference.
