Is there any big games for linux

[dyltman]

I know that there are many games that works with wine, I wonder however if there are actually any big mainstream games for linux.
The only one I know of is currently Heroes of Newerth and that's it.

Commercial offerings (where most big mainstream GNU/Linux compatible games are):
http://www.tuxgames.com/

There are few "big mainstream games", but lots of "small indie games".
ex:
-Lugaru
-World of Goo
-Cave Story

And apart from Wine, there are also engines/emulators like:
-SCUMMVM
-console emulators (ZSNES, etc)
-game specific engines working on GNU/Linux and requiring original game data (Jagged Alliance, Doom, etc)
which allow playing "old big mainstream games".

Unreal Tournament 2004
Doom 3
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
Prey
Neverwinter Nights
Freespace 2

probably a few more, but not many with native linux launchers

Quake Wars probably biggest most recent game. Not too many as a whole, though.

Quake 4
Quake Live

Urban Terror and Vendetta Online are my 2 faves.

Neverwinter nights! Great game, altho it is looking bad... I at the moment play on wine a lot (WoW and steam games) but i love urban terror and Wolfenstein ET.

Yeah that's the only mainstream game for Linux so far in this decade.

primal carnage is coming to windows mac linux and consoles. i forgot which ones though, xbox 360 i think?

it has really good graphics because it's powered by unigine, and it's dinosaur themed.

it's yet another fps, but it's different beccause you work in teams in a story mode hunting dinosaurs in a jurassic park themed place.

you can play as the dinosaurs too!
