Much like music, Games can only be downloaded once from the iTunes Store.
However, assuming that you're syncing the game to your iPod (which would be the point), then you can reverse-sync it back to your home PC when you connect your iPod at home by simply choosing "Transfer Purchases".... This will transfer all purchased content, including games, back to the other computer, provided it is authorized for that iTunes Store account (which you can confirm by going to Store->Authorize Computer in iTunes).
Note that Games are always automatically synced to an iPod (there is no "Manual" management for games), however you can turn on auto-sync on the Games tab on your work computer to get the game onto your iPod (if you haven't done so already), and then transfer it back to your home computer when you get home.

thanx, but I had a friendly soul at Apple support re-up the game for me, so now I have it at home, BUT I can't sync it... I read the sticky about syncing games, but it just wont work...
fixed it, silly me, I thought the game would show up under my ipod in iTunes, but guess not. Checked my ipod and it's all good.
