I gotta try this one out. This could solve my games dilemma and it seems to be based on arch so it should run well. IT also says that version 1.0 is going to be bigger and better.

The current version of the dvd is a release candiate, version 0.9. Features are:

* nine top free native linux games! 8 of them with multiplayer mode!
* high performance video card drivers (not preinstalled, but very easy to install):
o properitery nvidia drivers for nvidia tnt - geforce8xxx included.
o properitary ati driver (radeon 8500 - radeon x1900 supported).
* open source drivers with 3d acceleration for many other video cards
* harddisk is not touched!
* savegames and configuratoins can be stored on an usbstick and restored
* nothing needs to be configured, everything is done automatically
* FREE!!!!
