What games are available that run natively on Ubuntu?
Please limit one game per answer - and include why you enjoy the game.
Solution 1:
World of Goo
An excellent puzzle game that runs natively on linux, DRM and region free.
It's $20, but there is a free demo available to see if you like it. If you do like it, note that it's developed by a small independent studio who trusts you enough to keep it DRM-free, so please buy it and your $ will be going to the right place!
Solution 2:
Battle for Wesnoth
A turn-based multiplayer strategy game.
I play this game almost everyday with my friend. This game is superbe with a beautiful music and a never boring gameplay you can play a map for 5 min or for hours, you can download a infinite number of addons and there is always players online. You can play it on Windows, Mac OS X or Linux so you don't need to have all your friends on Linux.
Here a screenshot :
Try it, you will not regret it.
Solution 3:
OpenTTD
Genre: Sim
An Open Source clone of Transport Tycoon Deluxe.
You will probably want to install the additional free sounds and graphics too so tick the Add-ons openttd-opengfx, openttd-opensfx & openttd-openmsx in Software Centre
Solution 4:
Minecraft 
€20
Genre: Sandbox
If you follow gaming news site, you've likely heard about this one lately. It runs on java, and thus on Ubuntu.
Minecraft is a game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine. At night monsters come out, make sure to build a shelter before that happens.
Solution 5:
Wormux
It's a funny little game where open-source mascots declare genocide and try to kill each other, bugs bunny style.
Try it, it's a lot of fun and runs well on old PCs. I get 15 FPS on my Pentium 3, which is perfectly fine, seeing as the game is turned-based. It's also in the software centre, but there's an offical PPA you should add, considering netplay only works with the latest version.
Beware: the name will soon be changed to Warmux.
