linux games

[Franco Saliola]

It's that time of year again. Gift-buying season.

So I have this friend that is slowly coming round to installing linux
on his 64bit laptop. We will be setting up his machine for dual boot
in January, once some big December deadlines are out of the way.
However, one of his complaints about linux is its lack of games. Now,
rumour has it that there are some great games available for linux. But
my favourite video game is Ms Pacman (with the speedup hack, so she is
moving much faster than all the ghosts), so my knowledge of video
games doesn't extend much further than MAME.

Anyone have some suggestions for some linux games that would really
impress a PC (Windows) gamer? And as it's a gift, I don't mind paying
for the game.

Thanks in advance.
Franco
