I would hate to post reviews of all ready reviewed games. Any place there is a list of those reviewed games?

[Artificial Intelligence]

I'll make a list of the games when we have'em. We just started on with people can contribute with reviews so we havn't recieved any yet.

[dthomasdigital]

Great i've been testing a few games with Feisty, so I should have somthing in a few days to add.

[Rhubarb]

Excellent, I'll be typing up a good game review within the next few days.
Thanks AI

I will be getting Ubuntu setup permanently on my home box soon -- then I will try to add some reviews after I get my favorite games working under Ubuntu.

I am assuming you want to cover areas including how you get the game working in addition to the actual game play; right?

The games I would be targeting are:

Europa Universalis III
Birth of America
Guild Wars
Neverwinter Nights 2

If I win the contest I am in right now I will even have another forum to champion Linux games perhaps...

Ill research your other two.

I'm down to lend a helping hand. I'm still really new to the U, but I'll give it my best.

I'm currently playing Tremulous, And Nexius. Savage currently installing.

I enjoyed playing Nexuiz and 2 Scumm games in the repos. Also, Warsow looks nice, and Planeshift looks promising, even though i'm tired of MMOs lately.

Well I've being using Ubuntu for a while now but am making a concerted effort to make it my main OS now. (Vista killed it for me totally)

I'm using Wine for most my games and over the weekend I've installed all the following.

City of Heroes/ Villians
World of Warcraft
Republic Commando
Dawn of War
Dawn of War - Winter Assault
Dawn of War - Dark Crusade

I'd be happy to review any of the above. I have other games to test and would be happy to review them under linux too.

Also I'd be happy to put a "how to" for getting the above working in WINE

There's a decent blog out there that has been posting reviews of games available through Ubuntu here:

I recently started a blog where I'll be reviewing every game available through the default sources in the package manager in alphabetical order (i.e. every game that comes up when you select 'Add/Remove...' from the 'Applications' menu). I think I'm around 30 in at this point; I'm doing anywhere from five to ten a week, on average. The longer/more complicated games take longer, and it depends on my workload, but I've been pretty consistent so far, as far as updates are concerned.
