Battlefield II
Dungeon Seige II
GTA: San Andreas - Yes, I have the hot coffee patch and No, it really isn't all that special...
Never Winter Nights
F.E.A.R.
I also use the Adobe stuff as well as MS Office a lot.
I will make the switch in a hot minute though if I can continue to play my games. :)

Yes, all those package managers you mention are front ends for apt, which is itself a front end for
dpkg. They can be used interchangeably, just not at the same time (since apt only likes to have one
process going at once).
Ubuntu has a very active, helpful, large community of users and its forums contain how-tos for
everything under the (fluorescent lamp). Including Wine/Cedega for games. What games are you looking
to play? Lots of them work fine, some of them work with hacks, some don't work at all. Some games
are even available in native Linux binaries, depending on the genres you like (Enemy Territory, UT
all flavors, Doom 3 come to mind)
