It's a tool for converting DirectX code to OpenGL code, I doubt it's gonna make Blizzard and Valve release World of Warcraft and Half-Life 2, respectively, for Linux.Graphics chip maker ATI Technologies has released HLSL2GLSL, an open source application designed to help programmers convert graphics code optimized for Windows’ DirectX 9 Application Programming Interface (API) to OpenGL, which is used on the Mac. Binaries for Mac OS X and Windows are available for download.
