You are quite behind the times.  There are many other games which run
natively on Linux, just off the top of my head:
UT2003/2004
Quake
Quake2
Quake3
Quake4
Doom3
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Enemy Territory
Postal2

...plus many that you've likely never heard of, like SuperTux, Frozen
Bubble, Tux Racer, and more.

Obviously there are many more titles which are Windows-only, but the Linux
options are much more than "just UT".
