You need to give us more information about the "game servers".

What i mean is to get info from a server, like Playname, ping, Score, Kills death, ServerName ,.. etc..

No, what i want it to do is Get the info from a Game Server, while it is in progress, here is an example of what I want to do..

It needs a data source for SQL to connect to. Contact the server admin to figure out where the data is being stored.

I don't see how you could get the data without modifying the games to collect the information and store them somewhere. I suppose you could screen scrape the data but that wouldn't be done inside SQL.
