What are computers for if not for fun?
Oh, sure, there are all those serious applications like databases and accounting systems, but if we go back to the days of SpaceWar!, then we can see the real reason computers exist.
Okay, so I'm only kidding. Or more like half-kidding. Fact is, although I use computers for work (I teach at a university and run a couple of small businesses), like everybody else, I do enjoy a game now and then to let off steam.
On the other hand, I use Ubuntu almost exclusively at home and at work, and have done so for the past four years (and other distros for much longer). Conventional wisdom says that gaming options for Linux are limited, but I can honestly say that the situation has gotten much better in recent times. Yes, Windows still gets the lion's share of PC game releases, but the Linux gaming landscape isn't as barren as it was before.
This blog is meant to document my experiences with gaming on Ubuntu. I also run the Ubuntu Living. In the course of running that blog, I noticed that a significant number of posts have been about games. Thus, I decided to spin off a more niche site dealing with the subject.
I hope you like the site, and you come back often for tips and reviews.

I LOVE this idea. Consider me subscribed. Just a few thoughts that came up:
There aren't any organized game tournaments or anything of the sort for the games you've posted so far. Perhaps it'd be worth putting something together?
TC Elite.
Wesnoth.
World of Goo.
Overgrowth.
Tremulous.
... I suppose those are more, but if you haven't already, look into those. They're worthwhile and all run in Linux :)
