Usage as in storage? If so and you're running iOS 5 then go to Settings > General > Usage and wait for your app list to refresh then it will list them in descending order from the app that uses most storage space to the least.
I think jailbreaking your iPhone is the only way to track how many times you use specific apps.
Otherwise, you can get an idea of how often he plays specific games by splitting the games into different homescreens. This would work for the short-term.
For example, say you have homescreens 1 -> 2 -> 3. Let's assume that regular apps (i.e. Messages, Facetime, Contacts, other non-games) are on homescreen #1.
Initially, homescreen #2 will have just one app on it while all the games are on homescreen #3. Use homescreen #2 as a "recently used" homescreen. Every time he plays a game, he moves said app from homescreen #3 to the top of #2. Whatever games get left on homescreen #3 after, say, 2 weeks are worth deleting.

not storage
yeah. I don't usually watch it while he is on it. I use it as the "third" parent on occassion like I'm at the bank discussing something with a bank officer or something like that so I don't know what he uses.
oh well. I just download a bunch of free games for my 4 year old so I don't know what he uses like when we are on a big trip and I'm driving for example.

Must be 4yr old syndrome. My kid steals my phone most of the time when her 3GS is loaded with her games. And if I try to delete something, yea not gonna happen.
