It’s easy to forget that Linux is not only open-source and free, it’s also fun. Gaming is one area where Linux is a bit underrated, yet there are some decent multiplayer options around. We’ve only chosen games that are free and will run on a recent version of Ubuntu/Xubuntu (or our own variant, UserOS Select 10.10, from PC User's April 2011 edition). They don’t need the latest hardware, so if you have at least a 2.4GHz Pentium 4 CPU and Nvidia GeForce FX-series or ATI Radeon 9000-series graphics card, you’re (almost) ready to go.
