I have been looking around without any luck trying to find info about 64-bit version of Ubuntu. Never used Linux before, so I have a few questions in general.

Where can I find 64-bit applications for Ubuntu?
What 64-bit games are there?
Where can I find some of the latest games for Ubuntu?
I am a member of Second Life on windows. It's similar to a game, but it is actually a 3D community where people hang out and run businesses. I had a relatively successful business in that 3D world making real USD$ money. Is there any similar 3D community in Linux?

From what I have read there is a linux client for Second Life http://entertainment.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=06/03/03/2151256&tid=22
Snyaptic is how applications are found and installed in Ubuntu for the most part, you might want to look here for information on it and other install methods. http://www.monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/
