Games
These are the best Linux games that I could find. Most of them can be downloaded/purchased from Steam. It's not a surprise, I guess, because Valve actively promotes Linux as a gaming OS.
In fact, this is the very reason why they have released SteamOS, a Linux-based operating system for gamers, which has gained a lot of popularity.
Runs great on Linux Mint. A post-apocalyptic, 3rd person game which takes place a huge, open world. Highly recommended, especially for the fans of the series.
A fantastic 2.5D platformer that impresses with its shiny graphics and clever level design. Control two different characters, each one of them having its own abilities, or play the game in coop mode with a friend.
If you thought that soccer and driving don't mix well, you'd better think again! The game includes a huge variety of flying vehicles, allowing its players to score incredible goals.

Day of the Tentacle Remastered
Can you imagine that this game was released for the first time back in 1993? It's a great looking adventure, in which you'll have to prevent a purple tentacle from taking over the world.
Salt and Sanctuary is a 2D Castlevania-style platformer which cleverly combines furious combat with role playing game elements.
They say it's the world's most realistic pinball simulation, but I say that Pro Pinball is pure fun! The perfect game to play whenever you've got 10 minutes of free time.
If you've played this game on a console, you'll be surprised to discover that it plays even better on a Linux machine. And the huge number of crazy weapons guarantees that you won't ever get bored.

Lead a small team of heroes as you battle countless hordes of enemies across lots of carefully crafted stages. Improve your characters' abilities as you advance in the game.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Yes, it's the new version of the game you've played over a decade ago. And besides the huge graphics improvements, it packs lots of great add-ons (maps, characters, weapons).
I had the privilege of playing an early (beta) version of this game, and I am really happy to see the final version of the product being released on Steam.
Finally, the flagship turn-based strategy game can be played on Linux computers! Engage in war, or solve tense situations diplomatically. Research new technologies and build the greatest empire ever.
Assemble your team of brave warriors, lead them into battles and grow your influence. Then, when you think that you are powerful enough, claim the throne of Calradia!
A very funny, and yet very serious ;) first-person shooter game, which will make you relive those glorious days when games were really, really fun. Great enemies and great level design!
I know, this game may not look that amazing at first. But once you start exploring the huge, open-world universe, I guarantee that you will be hooked.
