I'm looking forward to my copy of Return to Castle Wolfenstein I ordered
from http://www.TuxGames.com  You can buy the Windows version, and
download the Linux installer from IdSoftware.  So it really is a Linux
game, it just uses the game files from the cd.  TuxGames sells it with
the files necessary so you don't have to do the extraction from the cd
from a windows partition or through wine (like idsoftware says). 
Awesome gameplay on that!
