Cool list – I’ll definitely be referring to it when I look for good games.
I’d like to promote my own game briefly here. We just released version 0.3.0 yesterday, with new multi-weapon support and many other improvements.
The game is called Leges Motus, and it’s a top-down zero-gravity multiplayer shooter. The idea is that you jump off of walls in the arena to try to reach your opponents’ gate and bring it down.
The website is at http://legesmotus.cs.brown.edu.
Nethack! My favorite game is in the list
You should change the line to
Nethack / Slashem / Sporkhack
Last two are variants.

Honestly, people who care, who do you?

The success of the game stores depends upon how well they develop a community around themselves. Clearly, Ubuntu Software Center and Desura have an advantage in this regard, plus USC is a built-in app/game store that comes pre-installed with the OS itself and can provide better support for games which gives it an upper hand.
