Well, I wouldn't say, that this is not a god year for Linux games. I sh** on UT3 for Linux and wouldn't buy it anymore (not for 5€). ID will come back (I belive ).

But we have something realy god in the pipeline. It's Heroes of Newerth. I love this game and I think it's one of the best/will be one of the bes Linux games ever.

Maybe we are just like in 2001, thinking if e-mail client as good as Outlook will be available on Linux too while something way better (gmail) was on the way.

Yes, World of Goo was a very good game. But it was a little bit short, for my taste.

Quake Live & Heroes Of Newerth. A great year for me, even though I know they aren't major high-end graphic titles.
