Steam on Ubuntu is a great idea and has outstanding potential. Linux gaming has always been a chicken and egg problem. Steam solves the distribution problem. It also has the added benefit of Windows gamers who already paid for games, so making a Linux version makes it that much easier for them to ditch Windows.
Steam is a great step forward. Next, get World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, and Starcraft 2. Then, League of Legends, DOTA 2, etc. All of a sudden you have a legit gaming platform.
