I would like an article on how GNU game succeed or fail. What are they key to writing a free game … what are some of the famous ones? How long they take. How to find people who make such games… I think this will be a cool read.

Do you mean a game made by GNU, a game under the GNU GPL, or a game under any open source license, or a free (in the gratis sense) game, or some combination of those?

Tux racer? (actually that game is very hard, I keep stuck at level 1).

I don't think Richard M. Stallman is writing games, so you probably mean open-source. My favorite example is Vega Strike, and the Privateer Remake based on it. There's also FreeCiv and Scorched3D. See here for a list of fully open-source games (code + content).
