OK.  I see someone pointed you at transgaming.  That'll get you most of
the the really popular windows games, but there are many really nice
games that are native to Linux.

One good resource for finding out about them is the Linux Game Tome

BZflag is excellent. 

Enigma is a cute puzzle/strategy game (FreeOxyd.
http://www.nongnu.org/enigma/)

Triptych is a "Squishy Tetris" that's quite addictive.

And of course, Enemy Territory, which is an iD game.

If you guys know of any good games, I'm always looking for new ways to
waste time.
