You kind of killed it with "native" 
Quake 3 would be a big standout otherwise, but still a ways off for a consumer level release to the repositiories (if ever?).
The bouncing ball game has good graphics and is smooth, but only two levels and the accelerometer seems problematic for control (IMO).
Based on the amount of very good games on the iPhone, the N900 has a long way to go and I see little commericial interest for devs. Games will be smaller groups and more niche type games. Angry Birds looks good, but iPhone has it and other fun physics based games too.
I would expect the main N900 advantage would be PC ports and emulators, but the emulator side is off to a shaky start due to Nokia's lack of thought when publishing N900 demo videos.
The ability to play Flash games could be pushed, but currently even that can be problematic and can cause performance issues and battery drain (Flash can hang on even when closed- a lot of people will not know this or how to fix). Also, Droid and other similar chipset devices will have Flash this summer too.

Bounce Evolution is a lot of fun, but as stated, it has 1 finite level, and 1 infinite level that is on a timer. (It's not glitch free though, as on the finite level, ive gotten it to crash multiple times where all I see is the sky, probably a divide by zero error on the camera rotation)

Not sure about the coolest game. But I love the fact that Ultima V seems to run great in Dosbox for n900. Was looking for a good rpg to take about with me.

Flash adds a wonder of games to the n900. (pretty much unlimited)
age of war
clone_wars
dark war strategy
dicewars
drakojan_skies
Knightfall
pepsi pinball
protector 1, 2, 3,
Starcraft FA_5
Stragety Defense
......and thousands more (i only named a few of my favorites)
My favorite game and one huge reason why I wanted the n900 was the flash games Sonny and Sonny 2 (RPG's) These games run flawlessly and look magnificent on the n900.

Quake3 and OpenArena are native code on the n900.
In a similar vein, GemRB (also native code) will be quite sweet when ready for the n900. I mean what other phone can you play a 200 hour RPG (Baldur's Gate 2) on?

What is currently the coolest (native!) N900 game available? One that pushes the N900 to all its limits and makes iPhony & Windoze users want to donate their phones to the Mobile Phone Throwing World Championship?
