Guild Wars is a great MMORPG that has a large emphasis on strategy and team work, not who has the higher level character and who has the best gear. Gear plays a pretty big role, especially towards the end, but it's kept pretty small so it feels easy to pick up and play, you don't have to buy new armor or weapons every level. Best of all, no subscriptions and it runs amazing under Wine. The graphics a nice, especially for a game that (and came out in 05) will run on a huge variety of system. http://guildwars.com
A great FPS is Sauerbraten, the graphics are great (but don't take a big toll, very flexible), the weapons are few but it feels fine. It has nice multiplayer but the only single player is similar to Invasion of Unreal Tournament but there's no waves, just one go. There are also maps with structured levels like Quake or the original Unreal. Very old school, very fun. No deathmatch bots, but it's great because out of Open Arena, Nexuiz and Warsow, it actually has a single player that's not arena. You can get it in Adept I believe. http://sauerbraten.org/
BzFlags is also a cool game, it's a FPS tank game, very simple but hard to grasp a first.
Nexuiz ran real choppy on my rig, don't know why. Running a pretty powerful rig.
Warsow is a neat little FPS, has sweet jumping mechanics, but other than that, it plays like a cell shaded Quake.
Team Fortress 2 runs pretty well under Wine, I tried it in windowed and had some frame rate issues, but the biggest issue was lag.
