As a hardcore gamer (meaning putting MANY hours into gaming) I have a list of games that NEED to be on Linux. As gaming its self has kept me from using Linux for years. Heres a list of present and future games:

Crysis
Bioshock
All Elder Scrolls Series
Gears of War
All Steam/Half-Life 2/Source games
Hellgate: London
Everquest 2
All Grand Theft Auto Series
Unreal Tournament 2007
Spore
All Call Of Duty Series
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Devil May Cry 4
Huxley
Haze
All Splinter Cell Series
Fallout 3
Starcraft II


Basicly, all the hit games that make money and big talk on windows gaming SHOULD be on Linux.
Also, with full DirectX10 game features that vista supposedly "only" supports.

Why? Because I like them. I would esp. like to see some of the older games in the above series such as C&C because some of them won't run properly under XP with new equipment since the drivers are built into the games and don't simply talk through the OS. This is esp. true with sound. Some of the older games only talk to the older soundblaster. C&C won't even install under XP and sound won't work if you don't have a true soundblaster card. As a result I have to keep a system with Win 98 just to play these games. I would like to get rid of Win 98.
you can run most of the early versions of those games under DOS-Box use your software installer and download it, it's basically a gaming based MS-DOS port for linux, windows or mac.

also you can get virtualbox and install a win version under that, it's not exactly a fast way to play games but it gets anything that doesnt use direct3d working

Spore for Linux

There is a discussion on the amazon.com pre-order page for Spore. it is titled "Linux". If this discussion had the most participants on amazon.com, then EA might notice.

Yes! If that happened I'd stop using Windows altogether.

Someday Wine will have _better_ backward compatibility than windows, if not already...

Those, that laugh at the end, laugh the loudest ...

we linux gamers are sick of having to play isometric and openGL games, very few directX games will run well under wine currently, there is one called TwelveSky that i've been playing but its still not great, i would pay microsoft a tonne of money (if i had it) to port direct X to linux...
