I would try America's Army from AmericasArmy.com

Or for something simpler, smaller and in the repositories - how about tuxracer or neverball?

[loserboy]

I think ill start with the simple idea thanks

[loserboy]

when i try to run tuxracer or neverball nothing happens, do i need to enable something?

Yes. You need to enable 3D acceleration on your card plus driver.
Which card do you have?

Yep, once you get your videocard working try one of these websites

I'm currently enjoying warsow

One thing that is good to know is a lot of games will already be listed in synaptic package manager and they will be very easy to install


plus if there is a windows game that you must have and it's not for linux you should check out wine. it can play some windows games.
