GameGURU is on a distinguished road

Default Retail games...

Does anyone know a list of retail games that run on Linux?

I am just curious, I realize that I would be better off gaming in Windows but hopefully some time we will have Linux running games very well.

I also mean native to Linux, not through cediga (which defeats the idea of Linux :mad or wine.

Don't you have to have a patch to run Doom3 on Linux? I mean just to install it?

you but the retail windows copy, and then download the linux binary from ID or other websites, and then you have to copy a few .pak files into the directoty, and then run doom3 and it will tell you to enter your cd key

the end
