Linux Games For Non-Gamers?

Nethead writes "Due to some down-time, I'm looking for some Linux games to pass the time. I've been playing BattleMaster, a PHP web game but it's only two turns a day, and I'd like something a bit faster. I've not really played PC games since the Doom era so I'm really out of touch here. I don't have a real gamer box, just a simple video card. What do Slashdotters think I should try? A simple FPS or some type of networked game would do. What's out there for Linux?"

    What? Sorry, paradigm slam.

    There are no games for non-gamers. You game, or you game not. There is no "non".

    Truly amazing game that. Sadly I've not played in a while which means I've completely forgotten how to play it! The game is deeper than a very deep thing.
