Free games or commercial games with official Linux versions both count

Warsow is pretty much the only game anyone needs. That and the official Quake 3 port, but good luck getting sound on the official binaries and getting on punkbuster servers with ioquake3 (which isn't a problem if you're playing on CPM servers like you're supposed to be doing).

netwalk is a pretty good way to kill about 10 mins.

Frets On fire, Sauerbraten, Warsow, Nexuiz, Torus Trooper, OpenTTD, AlienArena, Tremulus, OpenArena, Battle For Wesnoth, Abuse.. theres plenty, just google for "linux games".
I know you said it doesn't count, but if you really want games, you should check out Cedega to play windows games with and I've had *some* success with Wine too.

Wine is an acronym for Wine Is Not an Emulator. It doesn't emulate anything (using the generally agreed on definition of emulator in regards to computers), it's an implementation of windows API's on linux.
Both Unreal Tournaments work natively in Linux, and a guy outside Epic (but evidently supported by them) tweaks patches to work with Linux.
Also, since id released the source code for quakeworld it is possible to run Quake native in Linux if you compile it right.
And from this with a little fudging you can make every game built on the original Quake engine or the first two Unreal engines run in Linux without emulation.
Also, WINE *almost* counts as an emulator now. It didn't when it was first released, because at the time it was basically a patch that corrected a tiny number of Win32 programs to talk with Linux. Since then the correction has been progressively generalised until now where it is practically an emulation of a Win32 API, but it still technically isn't as it does not mimic the entire thing yet - so it is still just a really, really generalised patch. For now.
