Cloud Gaming
Been playing with Onlive game cloud/ streaming service for the last few months and I am pretty pleased with the results.
Not only does it work fine with the wired desktop and wifi laptop at home, I've also played some games on my Motorola Atrix, although I'd need a bluetooth controller to make full use of it on the phone.

Call of the Python
I started learning Python last year to do some scripting at work for testing, I recently discovered the game libraries (pygame, pyglet, etc) so have started looking into writing a game.
This is something I’ve been wanting to do from an early age back when I got my first 8-bit computer and never had the time or the skills to achieve.
After just a week of using pyglet during my lunch hour at work and a couple of hours at night I’m well on my way to finishing my first game, a breakout/ arkanoid clone.
Enjoying every minute of it.

Installing Repton 1 under Wine
Installing the Windows Repton 1 under Wine running on Ubuntu 9.10 using XCFE window manager.
Good news that it works apart small issues with the responsiveness of the pointer in the menus.
Download and buy at http://www.superiorinteractive.com/repton/
You can run it full screen or in a window as shown below.
Even after 25 years away from the game I still remembered how to do the first level, scary or what.

Arcade Puppy
While hunting about of instructions to install Python on Puppy Linux I came across Arcade Puppy.
Basically a version 4.2 variation with a lot of retro game system emulators installed.
Picture shows Arcade version of Puppy Linux running on a VirtualBox VM; running the game "Thrust" on the Spectrum emulator.

I remember playing this old DOS game on a mate’s PC.
Need to download the Nintendo DS version :)
via The Download Munkey by Roys on 28/01/09
Arguably the best DOS-based shoot-em up in my opinion, Tyrian is now available for gamers on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux (and Nintendo DS, PSP, even Wii!), thanks to the dedicated efforts of the OpenTyrian team who modified the source code to use the cross-platform SDL libraries and of course, Jason Emery, who graciously offered Tyrian as freeware back in 2004.

A platform game (also known as platformer) is a video game genre distinguished by jumping to and from suspended platforms or over obstacles. A very famous example of a platform game is the best selling video game of all time, which is the Super Mario Bros.If you are exhausted from playing your favorite FPS games like Urban Terror or Alien Arena, how about you relax a little and play some good old "platform games" on your Linux box.
I have here a list of some great free and open source platform games that you may enjoy.
SuperTux
SuperTux needs no further introduction, as it is definitely one of the most famous games for Linux. However, if you want to know more about SuperTux, perhaps you should just read my quick review of the game HERE.
Blob Wars: Metal Blob Solid
Blob Wars: Metal Blob Solid is an open source 2D arcade platform game developed by Parallel Realities. The aim of the game is to rescue Blob MIAs lost while fighting a battle against alien invaders led by their leader, Galdov (the Metal Blob). Metal Blob Solid features numerous different weapons, locations, boss battles and around 9 hours total gameplay.
Secret Maryo Chronicles
Secret Maryo Chronicles is yet another 2D jump-and-run game that's based on Nintendo's Super Mario Series. The game is a SourceForge project that began in 2003. Until now, it is still actively developed and maintained by the Secret Maryo Chronicles development team, led by Florian Richter ("FluXy").
Yo Frankie!
Yo Frankie! is the famous 3D game created by the Blender Institute. The universe and the characters of the game are based on the open source animated short film entitled Big Buck Bunny. Yo Frankie! was recently released this November of 2008 and is currently available for download.
X-Moto
X-Moto is a 2D motocross platform game where physics play an all-important role in the gameplay. Although the game is completely 2D, it uses 3D hardware acceleration (OpenGL) for faster rendering. The game also utilizes the Open Dynamics Engine for a realistic-feel physical simulation. X-Moto is extensible with user-created custom levels that can be automatically downloaded.
Neverball
Neverball is a 3D platform game similar to Super Monkey Ball. Its main gameplay is based on moving a ball using gravity by tilting the game world, not directly controlling the ball. The mouse (or a similar pointing device), keyboard, or joystick tilt the level to help guide the ball to a goal, via an obstacle course, with a set time limit. Moving platforms and other crazy objects get in the way, making levels progressively harder.
XEvil
XEvil is considered as one of the most graphically violent games ever made. Before you play or let your kids touch this game, read this disclaimer first (taken from its website):
"O.K., kids... let's get this straight. XEvil is not for meek, peace-loving, "I love you, you love me..." types of people. The fans of XEvil enjoy it because of its shameless displays of blood and violence, of people getting lit on fire, getting shot, being ripped up by chainsaws, getting high on drugs, and burst open by aliens."
