        lol, right?

        You forgot Glest, Tremulous, Alien Arena and Warzone 2100 for the free games, and Sacred Gold as a pay title.
        Also if you can get it to run, Alpha Centauri from Loki is great.

              Ah, that is a tiny problem compared to completely leaving out Battle for Wesnoth.

              And yeah, in general I'd say that the list is rather incomplete, there are many more great (native!) open and closed source games for Linux. Some other good games missing from the list:
              * Sacred Gold
              * Ankh
              * Ankh 2
              * Jack Keane
              * Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness (Episode 1 and 2)

                  yea. Runs kind of balls tho. Shadows are garbage. Certainly doesn't display what ogre can do.

                    I'm not an usual MMORPG player, but recently I'm enjoying Regnum Online very much on Linux. Sure, it has its nags and niches, but the overall experience I get is very rich, especially when you get to the higher levels. The game is always under constant improvements and bug fixing and will only get better.

                    Those interested can check it at http://regnumonline.com.ar

                    400mb free download, free to play.
