As Second Life is not really a game but rather a sort of cyberspace of social
activity I'm not all that sure that people interested in competitive gaming
will find much interesting activity there.
However, if you are interested the game BZFlag can be recompiled within YDL. It
has run very well on earlier generation PowerPC systems such as G3 and G4
systems. There is no reason why someone can't compile BZFlag so that it runs
on the PS3 within YDL5. Other open source games like BZFlag should run rather
nicely within the PS3.
I don't yet have a PS3 myself. When I acquire one I'll then be able to address
the question directly.
