World of Goo is single handedly responsible for me getting back into games - it really is an amazing game in concept, execution, design and music, and tremendous fun on any platform. Runs on almost any Linux PC I'd guess, as it's a 2D game - no 3D drivers required, it runs fine on Intel graphics.
Buying the Humble Indie Bundle now is still possible to get a copy of this and some other great games, and will help prove there is a Linux games market.

World of Goo does need hardware acceleration for compositing its 2d shapes. I tried playing it on a Core Duo system without 3d acceleration, and it was okay for the first few levels but too slow and jerky with large numbers of goos on the screen. Once I got the Intel graphics drivers working it was fine.

At least on Ubuntu 8.04, I just used the default open source Intel graphics driver. Some Intel graphics (the recent Core i3 and i5 in particular) is a bit broken even for scrolling Firefox, but most should be OK.
