Re: Does anyone play games in Linux
Some time ago I was addicted to WoW. Shame on me, I know.
But I emulated it with Wine, so I didn't try a native LX game until now, as I am not a gamer, except my XBOX360. YEAH, Windows.

I stay away from games, out of fear. I'm afraid of getting addicted, and losing too much time on games.
And I haven't seen a game console yet that surpasses the hardware I work with every day

Yes, you could consider this simulator a very expensive game. But don't think that SLI and Crossfire are for LAN parties only.
HAHA!

Re: Does anyone play games in Linux
I used to play counterstrike in Linux using Wine, 2 years before. I feel it is faster in Wine than runnng in Vista at my DELL laptop that time.

Re: Does anyone play games in Linux
To be frank, windoze xp is the best platform for running most (modern) games.
I do, however, run Neverwinter Nights natively on Linux, and run quite a few adventure games through ScummVM and some old classics in DOSBOX.
I also either use WINE or Crossover Games for a bunch of other games, including Source based games such as Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2 and Portal. I do play other games through Crossover Games as well, but sometimes I pop it up on XP if I want to get full performance without quirks.
Too bad they discontinued America's Army for Linux 
There's also this site I've heard of, the Linux Game Tome, I think, that indexes a lot of games for Linux. Worth checking out.
Oh, there's also Quake Live, which plays in your browser, and Runescape, if that counts

OK, I'll admit to playing a lot of nethack about two years ago:

Nethack's pretty fun at times, but I kind of like Dwarf Fortress more, Idunno.

Re: Does anyone play games in Linux
For what I remember(2 years ago), I can play Warcraft, CS, from custom compiled Wine in my Ubuntu box. Since Crossover is a RPM Based, I cannot even customized it. So I then prefered Wine.
