I list out a couple of proprietary games in on LinuxQuestions.org.

In addition to that I was going to recommend Humble Indie Bundle but Doug beat me to it. There's several other open source games which I enjoy playing such as...

The Battle for Wesnoth
SuperTux
TuxKart
BZFlag
Chromium BSU
Breakout
GCompris (for kids)

And a couple others I can't think of off the top of my head at the moment.
