Good news is in the air in concern to linux games. First of all there is planeshift. It is a MMORPG and should help fill the void us linux gamers feel without Everquest.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/planeshift/The next good news is Cube.
http://wouter.fov120.com/cube/ This is a fps that was written from the beginning as an open source project. It reminds me a lot of quake 2 and although it doesnt have the latest cutting edge graphics, it is very respectable.
As if the news for linux gamers wasnt good enough, here is even better news. RTCW: Enemy Territory has been completed and released in its final version. Its pretty good too. Check out
http://games.activision.com/games/wolfenstein/index.asp?section=etBy the way for those who dont know it is 100% free, it has a 100% linux port, that Ive tested with no problems on Mandrake 9.1, and it does not require RTCW to play. It is completely stand alone. So if you use linux and dont know about any good free games, go get this.
The final news is the best however. Gentoo has started a gaming division to bring bootable games to linux. If you remember the UT2003 demo bootable distro they created then you know what I mean. Now they are back at it with the first version of America's Army that runs on linux.
