OK so I have seen some of you want to game with Ubuntu. well the thing is that almost all games are made for Microsoft boxes! But there are some very good games out there for linux to.
here are some with a installation howto.
First of a shooter! This one are like Battle Fields and many of you already know it as US Army SF
Go this link: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/GAMES-ENTERTAINMENT/FPS/Americas-Army-Special-Forces-4038.shtml
Download and install.
Next up are a Nintendo shell with Linux characters.
open terminal and type
sudo apt-get install supertux
Next up are a Flight sim, named Flight Gear
again open terminal and type.
sudo apt-get install flightgear
Next are a Call of duty look a like and it is a good game!
go to link and download and install.

finaly a car arcade game. the same again go link and download.

I found that gaming with ubuntu can be slow. The thing is that compiz and other programs take a lot of power. disable visual effects and you are good to go! Heres how.
Go "menu>system>preference>appearances>visual effects" and choose none.
There are more games out there if you are wondering about some thing just ask. And tell me how you think this tread was.
