Pretty extensive. Thanks for advertising Wine in a way where people think Linux lags behind. :)

This shouldn't really be in the Wine forums (except for the fact that the games should run well in Wine I guess), but it kind of depends on your taste! I personally found Portal to be a short and sweet experience.

I already made a video for portal, I found it to be brilliant and hope that portal 2 runs as good as the first one in wine!

Oh, oops, you mean suggestions for making videos? Let me check my games! I have a lot of 2D games that you could perhaps pack into a single video to demonstrate overall 2D performance.

I have tried listing the games that I feel are a bit more well-known and/or commercial products, as I have a TON of little indie games, good and bad. :P

2D games:
- Eversion (available very cheaply on Steam);
- Dink Smallwood (free, a Linux version does actually exist but the Win version works great under Wine too);
- Almost all of PopCap's games seem to be working great. (Casual gamer appeal?)
- Septerra Core (epic PC RPG, available cheaply on gog.com);
- Cave Story (free);
- Icy Tower (free game by Free Lunch Design);
- Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (beautiful little platformer by Epic Megagames, not sure where to get);


3D games:
- RealMYST (works, but performs somewhat poorly on my laptop with 1.2Ghz dual core Athlon 64 X2 processor. Definitely playable under 640x480.) (Game also available on gog.com);

Uhh... Seems like I mostly have 2D games for my Linux install. Hope that helps, anyway.

See http://kegel.com/wine/games.html
and click on the columns to sort by rating (either gameranking.com
or appdbp. That might give you a few ideas.
