Alexandra: "on pc" and "the pc games" are not idiomatic. It should be "on THE pc" and "pc games." Also, PC refers only to Windows computer, excluding Apple. I would just call these computer games. Also, does несколько imply a lot or a little?

Also, "несколько" не имеет оттенка - много это или мало, достаточно или нет - в русском языке. Похоже на some или several в зависимости от контекста.
При изучении английского мы целую грамматическую тему проходим, чтобы отличать few/a few и little/a little
