Good news if you are a Raspberry Pi fan as SDL2 now supports it, which does mean technically in future more games could work on it.
Features
I have been thinking about picking one of these up, but with the SteamOS and SteamBox's coming that could make a pretty decent media box on its own.

I don't really see the benefit of this given the low spec of the Pi (don't get me wrong it's great). Unless this applies to all ARM processors, I don't expect much to change.

Most people use it to tinker, like building Robots and such. Some use it as a Media Center and others play Quake 3. But yeah, I wouldn't expect it to run Serious Sam 3 :P

Yeah and I have one to do just that; tinker. But gaming? Doesn't make much sense.

Airline tycoon deluxe was ported to Raspberry Pi by Runesoft and they wanted make a ports of other games:
"Unlikely I think, it is not even ported to Linux so far.
But I could give Robin Hood and Northland a try."
There are other commercial games ported to Raspberry Pi:

Linux x86 as a platform for games had no future in 1994-1997, but now you can play in thousands of games. In my opinion, porting games to Raspberry Pi has more sense than porting commercial games to Linux PPC/Alpha/Sparc in the past.
