[SOLVED]How to make all users have write...

... The question is in the title... I want to make my brother and me both use the linux both, but we usee different users. My brother wants to access the games that are installed in my home, however they require write access in order to be played (and I was only able to give him readonly via gpasswd -a marty (my brother's username dheart (my username hence my group)
What should I do in order to enable write access for my brother in my home?

EDIT: Yea... chmod -R the directories and ln -s to his home... that did the trick.

If the files are of the same group your brother is in, run "chmod -R g+w ..." on the necessary directories.
