There is a easy way to disable the browser, but not the games. The database has a table called user that holds a row for the currently logged on user. Changing the value of the column "IsChildAccount" to "true" will remove the browser from the extras page.

For the games, the first thought I had to telnet into the device and delete the game executables. You need to look in "/usr/local/Kobo". The files look like "libchess.so". There are instructions for enabling telnet in the developers sub forum.

It might also be possible to disable them via the Kobo Patcher. I don't know if anyone has looked for the changes needed or not.
