Hello,

Does anybody know of some nice games on Gentoo, since I don't know any
of them except a few.

I'd realy like to see a Worms clone or so.
There is xscorch, but are there any others?

Or just cool games you like?

I know they're in there :-)

But there's just so many of them, maybe there is a list or so?

Or a command like emerge -s, that displays some info.
Maybe there is a better tool for this...

But what I really want are some suggestions ;-)

grep DESC /usr/portage/games-*/*/*.ebuild

It really depends on what you are interested in. You will find there a
lots of well known names which will be self-explanatory.

Americas Army and enemy territory are great 1st person shooters. There's
also a new one by the name of Code Red Alien Arena but I don't think that
one is in portage. It's based on the Quake 3 engine so it's quality.
Honestly, there are tons of games out there and all free. Get them all!

If you have glx active, check out Nexius and TuxRacer. Nexius is a cross
between old doom style shooter and unreal tournament. Nexius also has
online play. If you are looking for games to buy for Linux, try Doom3,
Quake4 and UT2004. I have all three running just fine on Gentoo.
