Linux Games

Hey guys

I've been using Ubuntu 8.04 and now 8.10 for the last couple months, totally thrown Windows out. I enjoyed the odd game (Diablo 2 and some racing sims) and was wondering what you guys play on Linux? I do mean native Linux (prefer free) not running under WINE. Currently I'm playing Diablo 2 under WINE but would like to see what's available out there??

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, got a few downloads going already. As I said, I'm a very casual gamer, so don't have to have the latest and greatest stuff. If I wanted to pay R600 for a game I'd have stuck it out with Windows
