So, since there appears to be a Mac thread, I figured that it wouldn't be out of place to ask the people:
What are the good Linux games out there?
Of course, everyone seems to have heard of some of them (Smokin' Guns or nexuis for example), but there are many others and they tend to get less coverage than other games. What are your reccomendations?

SuperTux is pretty okay, I think. But that one is also well known...

And I think I successfully compiled F.I.E.N.D. on my FC5.

I'm actually not sure if any of these games are any good, because I don't have linux. But it is a list of linux games. 5 Linux games |

If self-promotion is OK in this thread my game " Jumpman" now has a Linux binary available in addition to the existing Mac and Windows versions. I'm curious whether it works on non-Ubuntu systems, as all the testers I've contacted were using some version of Ubuntu. |

Liquid Wars It's a simple real time strategy game that's pretty addictive. Essentially, you have a bunch of dots which move towards your target, and you have to out-maneuver your opponents blob of pixels. http://www.ufoot.org/liquidwar/v5 |

It's like a minimalist answer to the RTS. |
