And, I feel compelled to mention another wonderful (and sadly underrated) commercial game available on Linux: MindRover (Linux version formerly from Loki, but now from LGP)... One of the most fun games I've ever played... I just wish there was a new version, or at least more add-on levels/missions/challenges... Short summary: you build and program (via a wiring paradigm GUI, though you can actually hack real source code files too, if you prefer) autonomous robots to complete various tasks, usually in competition against others...

Or the games from: http://www.chroniclogic.com/, at least the Gish and
Triptych were great (sadly, I've only played the demos).

Of the non-FPS/RTS Open Source games, I could mention also Neverball/putt,
Scorched3D, Egoboo, Xmoto.

Of the clones for classic games for example Enigma (Oxyd), Toppler
(Nebulus), Rocks'an Diamonds (Boulderdash), Heroes (Nibbles) are great.
