Amelia Chamberlain said in her post:

We have a couple of employees who feel it is okay to play
games on their computer for the last hour of the day--and because there
isn't a policy that specifically addresses the situation, it continues
to be a problem--even though staff have been warned not to do this on
work time.

This strikes me more as a performance issue than a policy one.
Referring to the absence of policy to justify continuing to spend
inordinate amounts of work time playing computer games is akin to
telling a manager that, in the absence of a policy to the contrary, I am
going to sit naked in my cubicle!

You don't need a policy to deal with this issue--you need managers with
backbone.  Just one woman's opinion--
