Rep:
Are you asking what games can you play in linux?
My current favourite is an RPG called "Golden Sun". It's a Game Boy Advance game, so i'm playing it on an emulator called "mednafen". It's a snap, even though you need to compile it from source. Of course, you can only play a GBA game on an emulator if you legally own the cartridge...
More than you'd think. There are some great free (as in free speech) games around, but as far as commercial titles, there are some, but not a lot. Heres a list or the ones I've heard of:
Quake and all games built by ID (becuase the open source them eventually)
Neverwinter Nights by Bioware
Tribes 2 (I think)
And many (Windows) more can be played with WINE. Just google it.
