Mind you, I don't think I've seen many reports on Debian causing problems for gamers on this site. Have I just missed them? Or are these Debian users simply proficient enough to fix these problems themselves? Debian doesn't exactly appeal to people new to Linux, unless they choose it based on ideology alone.
Disclaimer: Personally I've only used Debian on servers, and prefer a "better" OOTB experience on the desktop, but--as the word experience implies--this is purely subjective.

So Debian testing offers a good balance of polish and stability while being up to date. Something like Arch introduces things way too early and you should be ready to deal with serious instability.
Ubuntu and Mint are actually more out of date than Debian testing, because they use periodic releases and they aren't rolling.
