There are some native games you can grab in software manager, some windows games work under wine....

However, Steam for Linux is in Beta testing now, so if all goes well, we will have a decent selection available soon

I installed Steam and I have a bunch of games installed right now. Works great too.

Keep an eye out for new bundles of www.Humblebundle.com

Steam on Linux (beta) offers a few free games (Team Fortress) and many discounts during this holiday period.
