So what games do you play, if any?
Me, I play CounterStrike: Source and Battlefield 2 in windows while when I spend time with Ubuntu it is Frozen Bubble and Tetris that rank high on my list.

On the PC, mainly XCOM, the age old Battle Isle series (still unbeaten for scifi strategy), Freeciv and Doom (using Doomsday)
On the PS2, a bunch of stuff, mainly Resident evil, silent hill, medal of honour, call of duty and a bit of Champions of Norrath

I do not play on my PC anymore; too expensive to upgrade it every 6 months. Playing a lot of videogames. Currently Far Cry Instincts on the Xbox, Zelda OOT on N64 and Donkey Kong Country 2 on SNES.
Oh, and another reason is for sure that I do not like to have Windows installed at home.

Silent Hill 4, but I stoped few days ago, cause I think it's starting to affect me.... what.. is this... I can't... I can't get out of the room... No seriosly this is the first ever horror game/movie/book that managed to work it's magic on me. Usually I just sit back and laugh my guts out, but this time WOW. I guess I'll go back to my older games (Twisted Metal 2, NFS4, Tekken 3), and after 3-4 days of relaxing fun, I'll be back to killing Walter Sullivan (or his ghost actually).

UT 2004... I don't know what it is about that game but I'm totally addicted. I'll try in get in at least a game or two a day.
also I'm getting back into Doom III and I just got the demo for Quake 4. I've been thinking about getting a DS. But I don't have a commute and I just can't justify using at home when I'm so close to my computer.

Lately, I've discovered x-com ufo. Love it! I played Battlefield 1942 until a Windows patch made the sound disappear. Battle of Wesnoth rawks. Nethack, of course. Grand Theft Auto games, as well as Splinter Cell games. Lots of others, but thses I play the most consistantly.

Haven't played games for awhile.
Otherwise, Football Manager on Windoze. It's the only reason I still keep an XP partition and when I get FM working on Wine I'll be able to get rid of it.
On Linux, I've just found Bygfoot and am giving that a go.

Its actually pretty easy to uncover...
1) You must hit the Qooutile with the Zorlon cannon while the Quotile is in his fireball form. Wait until he launches it.
2) NOte the thin black line going down the middle of the screen. If a certain part of the yar touches that line when the explosion ends, the game ends, and the programmer's initials show up.
The autor of Yar's Revenge, one Howard Scott Warshaw also programmed three other games for the Atari 2600
-- Raiders of the Lost Ark
-- ET
-- Saboteur (A-Team)
Saboteur was never released.
ET and Raiders however both have easter eggs in them. In Raiders, you can uncover the yar and the programmer's initials, and in ET, you can uncover the Yar, Indiana JOnes, and then the programmer's initials.
Off the top of my head, I don't remember how to do those, but do a search at the forums at http://www.atariage.com and you can find them.
Other trivia about Yar's Revenge..
1) It started out as a port of the arcade game "Star Castle". The programmer deemed it impossible to port to the 2600, and so he altered what he had to the current form.
2) Yar is "RAY" backwards. At the time Atari's head was "RAY Kassar". He named it YAR as a little suck-up to Ray in the hopes that the game would be released. It worked. :D

I'm really looking forward to Elder Scrolls Oblivion though... I wish they'd port it to Linux, but even then, getting hardware acceleration for the Mobility X700 under Linux is waaay to much trouble and far too risky.

KReversi has been high up there since I installed it.
Granted that was yesterday night, but I usually don't play games in Ubuntu so actually playing it past the first trial is sorta big for me.
In windows I usually play mmorpg's although I've been getting disapointed with them more and more...

I play all my games on Windows, because despite how good my linux computer appears, it just isn't capable of gaming :( The only game that's even playable on it is CS 1.6, and even then, it lags alot (low FPS), to the point where I refuse to play it. On Windows, I play Battlefield 2 (my stats (http://bf2s.com/player/W1ldT4ng3nt/)), EVE Online (worse than WoW for addictiveness in my opinion), Quake 4, Counter strike 1.6 and Source, Half-life 1 and 2 (I've got like, almost all Steam games (http://longlivemarneus.serveftp.net/Justin/screenshots/steam_games.JPG)), Halo (PC version rocks!), and many other games. My current obsession is EVE, it's alot of fun, but it will empty your wallet quickly :-P
