I find this situation quite common. Would you have rather that the agent didn't tell you that there were other bids? He/she can give you that info, just not the amount of anyone else's offer. You decided that you didn't want to up your offer and you lost. I don't understand your comment regarding the "gamesmanship"? It sounds to that the agent was fair and only trying to get you the house that you wanted.
