LinuksLinks.com has put together a list of 42 Best Linux Commercial Games. The selection they have chosen covers a wide range of different game genres, so hopefully there will be something there that will interest all.

To be eligible for inclusion in this list each game needed to be:

- Not require Wine to run. Wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows software

Capcom has two secret projects under its rug, waiting to be presented at E3. There’s a very good chance that one of the titles will be Mega Man 9, but the other is an unannounced Wii project. In the latest issue of NGamer, a terse and mysterious quote by the magazine provides insight into an upcoming Capcom title for the Wii.

"There’s a bullet with our name on it if we speak of their ultra top secret Wii title (a surprising take on a next-gen favourite), so we’ll stick to the safer, though still intruiging, Spyborgs."

Reident Evil? Street Figher IV? Who knows, but there’s a strong possibility Capcom is cooking up something great.
