There are some very good open source games that are Universal Binaries. Check out some like Tremulous, Sauerbraten, Neverball, World of Padman, and the like. They run pretty well on my 2.0 GHz iMac G5 17" ALS.

I also have a G5 and here is what I have in my games folder at the moment (it tends to change quite a lot as I like to play a demo for a while and then move onto something else):

Alchemy Deluxe Nanosaur (OS9)
American History Lux Nanosaur 2
Bejeweled Deluxe No one lives forever
Bejeweled Deluxe 2 Quake
Big Money Deluxe Quake II
Bookworm Deluxe Scrabble
Bugdom(OS9) Seven Seas
Chess The Ur-Quan Masters

Check out Ambrosia Software's games (http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/games/). They have some great ones, and I think they're all PPC-compatible. Some of them even run in OS 9!

I'm pretty sure Colin McRae Rally, Doom 3, Ford Racing 2, Prey, Quake 4, and UT2004 are all UB's.

Try out the demos of Oni (http://oni.planets.gamespy.com/files/demo.shtml) and Myth (http://projectmagma.net/what/), both PPC games, from Bungie originally.

I think there are quite a few good games for the PPC architecture (in fact, I can probably think of more problems the other way round, with games not working on Intel or not playing as well under Rosetta). So the good news is you should be fine. :)

How about...

Alien vs. Predator
Alien vs. Predator 2
American McGee's Alice
Call of Duty (and Call of Duty: United Offensive)
Max Payne
Quake III Arena (Open Source version, ioquake3 (http://ioquake3.org/), too)
