I have a few of the above games but not played them in linux.(don't play
them much in windows when I'm in windows either other than sims and
baulders gate)  I know people who have played them on linux with the
linux installers had had them work well tho.


Thease are all the ones tried with winex and lists the status of how
well they work(non linux native games):

Thease are all linux native.  I suggest looking at
http://www.happybenguin.org or freshmeat.net in the games sections to
see all there is.  There are many more than I've tried.  This list is
simply the ones I've tried with high rankings.(typically 4-5 stars)  I'm
currently using the kdegames and gnomegames packages tho I'm using
openbox.  I'm also running abuse-sdl but tho it's a great game
warning... run it from console first.  There is one file with messed up
permissions that needs changed.(not sure if it's listed as a bug tho) 
Adonthell is available in gentoo but they don't warn you that you need
to download wastedge as it comes gameless.  So far it looks to be a very
good game too.  Celestia is a space sim with really nice graphics to it.
 Chromium for some reason wont work on my system(even when I compiled it
with QT2x tho I otherwise use QT3x).  There are a few games and other
programs I've put requests in for as I don't know how to do an ebuild
yet.  However you could just regularly compile what ones aren't in
portage that look good all the same.
