Unless there is a native binary developed for linux for the games then
it would be down to the guys who make wine and cedega:

http://www.transgaming.com/products_linux.php

You should be able to see the state of games compat from that site in
the db, wine (free/oss) is based on earlier versions of cedega and most
games can be made to work with it but can be a bit of a pain to setup
with some.

Others such as Doom3, Quake, UT, UT2003, UT2004 all have native
bianries, UT actually has a install script on the disks.

However if it is for a cyber cafe then cedega would be the best bet and
does not cost a leg and an arm.

And as I have Doom3 and UT2004 I can say they they play as well (If not
even a little better) than they do under windows. Doom 3 especially
benefits from a Linux Install. It was less that perfect on this machine
(AMD AthlonXP 2800+ with 1 gig DDR 2700 and 256mb nVidia fx5200) under
XP (With the latest Direct 9b). Under Linux However the result is so
smooth I have all the texture / Lighting options turned on and there is
absolutely no slowdown at all.... A big well doen to ID methinks!

Just my 2 penneth

Don't forget about Neverwinter Nights. Great game and runs smooth on Linux.

Yep I will second NWN as well, runs very good under Linux ( I cannot
compare against windows as I don`t do windows here )
