Don't se a thread about this here so I'll list the ones I know:

Linuxgames (http://www.linuxgames.com/)
The longest running Linux gaming news website I know of, part of the TeleFragged network. A great place to keep up on gaming news.

Linux-gamers.net (http://www.linux-gamers.net/)
A relatively recent addition that has survived unlike the ill-fated Linuxgaming.net. They offer forums, Linux clans and news. If you're in Germany you might be interested in the Linux gamer LAN's they organize as well.

The Linux Game Tome (http://www.happypenguin.org/)
A catalogue of GNU/Linux games, both proprietary and free complete with ratings. This one's been running even longer than Linuxgames, I think. They have relatively active forums as well.

Icculus (http://www.icculus.org/)
The home of several open source gaming projects and .plans of some significant people such as the man responsible for many GNU/Linux ports of major commercial titles, Ryan "Icculus" Gordon.

Holarse (http://www.holarse.de/)
For those fortunate enough to speak german, this is yet another good gaming news site complete with HOWTOs, reviews, etc.

Linux Installers For Linux Games (http://liflg.org/)
They offer installers for native, Wine-run, free and proprietary games and mods.

Linux Game Publishing (http://www.linuxgamepublishing.com/)
The major porting company currently porting exclusively for Linux. Tries to fill the shoes of the former Loki games but with a viable plan for survival. They port mostly good quality non-AAA titles.

TransGaming (http://www.transgaming.com/)
The developers of the well-known WineX software based on WINE and designed to run Windows games on Linux.

And one not strictly gaming related but of interest to Linux gamers:
|URL=http://www.linuxhardware.org/]LinuxHardware[/URL] hardware news and benchmark website focusing on Linux. The place to get information on processor and graphics card performance. (Anandtech (http://www.anandtech.com/) is competing with their recently started Linux section though).

Feel free to add to the list if I missed anything important. These are the sites I've followed for years now to stay up on current Linux gaming news. :)
