Retreive the list ordering by the id:

select * from games order by id desc

Then loop trhough it:

<ul id="game_list">
    <?php
        $count = 0;

        foreach($games as $game) {
            echo '<li><img src="' . $game['img_location'] . '" />';

            if($count < 5) {
                echo '<div class="new"></div>';
            }

            echo '</li>';
            $count++;
        }
    ?>
</ul>

And the CSS:

#game_list {
    list-style: none;
}

#game_list li {
    position: relative;
    z-index: 1;
}

.new {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    right: 0;
    width: 80px; /* w of new banner img */
    height: 80px; /* h of new banner img */
    background: url(../img/new_banner_img.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
    z-index: 2;
}
