NeverWinter Nights, you don't need windoze to do anything, there is a linux client and an installer that works completely in linux.
Great game too I might add!
Cool

i just wanted to second the NWN referall posted by MasterC
also there is a QuakeIII team arena linux port...as well as a few (maybe all? ID software titles available that use the original windows cd sets with minor modifications {not really sure about specifics, i mostly play RPGs hence NWN})
if you're looking for a good amount of popular games i would break down and get wineX if i were you  that's just me tho....nwn will keep you busy, not to mention the expansion that just came out and all the custom mods out there.

I'm playing Tactical Ops : Assault on terror. All you need to do is download the windows retail version and 3 linux files: The 3.1.5 installer 332 patch and 340 patch.
The game is semi-realistic because it used to be a unreal tournament mod. I love it because there is much action, not like on Counter-strike where everybody are camping all the time. To be the best you have to move a lot and jump and that's what makes the game so exciting.
If you wish to play it, don't learn on bots (computer enemies) because they do not represent the style which human players play on game servers.
Try it, you'll love it !
Of course you can buy, but ...

Unreal Tournament or Unreal Tournament 2003 come to mind. Quake 2 and 3 work on linux as well.
Of course, using winex would enable Deus Ex, not that i've played that past the training mission.

Enemy Territory is incredible, and FREE. Can't go wrong with that.
