DAMHM, that's a list and a half!! :-o
I'm already on Linux, have been for a few years, but would be excellent to get a game that is on my wishlist. Put me in the pot for these, ordered with my greatest wish on top.
Tyranny
Divinity: Original Sin
BioShock (if it is actually DRM Free, and not the usual (these days) Humble Bundle BS about steam (spit) keys)
Vampire Masquerade: Bloodlines
Jade Empire
Prine of Persia: Sands of Time
Thanks a lot for doing this, and especially for getting more focus on Linux. GOG are still behind in getting Linux games here that are actually available for Linux, or easily can be. Getting more people to buy (or get) and play more games on Linux will hopefully put GOG's feet to the fire a little bit, so they kick this process into gear.
Again, thanks a lot, and many +1.

Hate to link to anything related to *that* site, but will have to make an exception in this case as it's an excellent guide that is hosted there.

Add the PPA:
Open "Software Sources" from the system's menu or System Settings
Select "PPAs" then click on "Add a new PPA..." and enter ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa (if you select and copy this first then it'll automatically paste it into the entry box), then click ok & hit refresh
Install new driver:
Open the Driver Manager from the system's menu or System Settings, select the driver you want and then click on "Apply changes". Once it's installed, simply reboot

There's a GOG Mix for that!
Games that have native Linux ports ... elsewhere
Not sure how up to date it is though.

It's quite a huge list though. Rather annoying.

I removed the entries that are promised, or that aren't official (ie. icculus versions). GOG isn't likely to sell an unofficial version of a game. I did very little verification of the information too. Some of those listed may well now be available on GOG.

Making a page there will allow others to expand / contribute. GamingOnLinux would be probably more focused, since the site tries to advance Linux gaming in general, and missing ports is a major topic there.

Another cool giveaway! Maybe I can win something finally XD
With Windows that gets worse from year to year, Linux could perhaps be an alternative, hoping that more and more games support it. I'll definitely read the guide for noobs, great work adamhm, and thanks for this giveaway!
My list in order of preference (very hard to choose):
> SOMA
> The Walking Dead Season 1 (+ 400 Days) + Season 2
> Sam & Max Save the World, Beyond Time & Space, The Devil's Playhouse
> Outlast + Whistleblower DLC
> Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number
> Monkey Island pack (The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition, Monkey Island 2 SE, Tales of Monkey Island)
> Star Wars: Dark Forces + Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
> Apotheon
