I just finished quake4, and I am playing (again) doom3 on Linux right now. It feels great – so if anyone wants to say that there are no games on Linux, I could just show the list of some of the games I played this year and found quite impressive:

Nexuiz
OpenArena
Doom3
Quake4
World of Goo (this one actually managed to keep me awake until 5am for a few days)
Caster
Cube
…
and, besides those, we still have wine which plays most of the games just fine (except some of the bleeding edge ones, and the ones which are hurt by the the-f**ing-hating-mouse-rotation-bug like call of duty 4).

But.. even with all that progress, I miss the good old games.
