Native:

Doom 3
Quake 4
Never Winter Nights
Savage
UT2004
ysflight
PlaneShift
Tribal Trouble
Nexuiz
Coldwar
Armyops
Enemy Territory
Alien Arena 2006
Darwinia

Those are all pretty old now, but those are the ones I played, and there 
are many others.

I stopped spending big money (over $3,000.00 every two years) on gaming 
PCs, since my game machine runs Linux natively. :)

(PS3)


There are really lots of good games for Linux, and still lots that run 
under wine, and lots that work great with Cedega.

I used to run City of Heroes and City of Villains under Cedega just fine.

Does your favorite PC game run on Linux?  Probably not.  So will you 
change favorites, or dual boot?

I dual boot my game machine OS with Linux, also.  But my game machine OS 
is not MS. :)

Good Luck!
