What non-free games are available for Linux right now that are good?
The best that I know of is Heroes of Newerth, which has native versions for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. Awesome game, by the way.
If you don't know of any, what about the best of the free games?
Any genre, but preferably something that at least feels like it was made this century.

So, if ya'll don't mind, I'd like to revisit this. Has there been any new games in the past 2 years worthy of mention?Shining Arcanine wrote:There is also Unigine's Oilrush game: http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25867
This FINALLY just came out. It's $19.99 at http://oilrush-game.com/
I am WILLING to pay for a linux game, I just am unaware of what they are, how good they are, and how popular/unpopular they are...
I've already looked into the games mentioned here so far, I am looking for good games. Like $49.99 worthy mind-blowing jawsome games. Any?

also i think the MythTV and XBMC frontends can be set up with links to games, etc.
