I do know how to double tap on that button/space which shades down the top 3/4 of the screen and the most recent used apps appear along the bottom of the screen. They dance with a small red circle at the edge of each - and I can touch on each one to REALLY close them - but they don't erase or go away. Is that "force closing"?
For IO7 devices:
All you have to do is double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view, then swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit. The app will fly off the screen.
Prior to IOS7
To force close you games, means you are closing out the game from running in the background.
On iphone, ipad, etc. ( you are not deleting the game and redownloading it)
Click you home button twice, your icons will show up at the bottom

You are not deleting the apps just closing them out.
