The Register.co.uk reports that Microsoft has tendered its resignation from the consortium governing the OpenGL standard, signalling an intention to go it alone with its Direct3D graphics platform.

Strangely enough every single Open GL game I own has zero problems whatsoever when it comes to graphics and even uses less system resources than D3D games do on my system.
When I play a D3D game (UT2k3, Unreal2,B&W,Aliens vs. Pred 2) it feels like my player is 'floating' around or there is some lag of sorts.
D3D just doesn't do it for me...

What OpenGL games are currently out there besides Counter-Strike and Quake 3 engine (Jedi Knight 2, Heavy Metal, Soldier of Fortune 2, etc.) games?
