Default How can I run Team Fortress 2?

I'm really new to Linux, and I'm probably installing Kubuntu.

I want to be able to play Half Life 2, CS:S, Garry's Mod, and Team Fortress 2.

I'm completely new to Linux, so I have no idea where to start.

Would anybody who's done this tell me how to?

Thanks

You can try WINE or Cedega if you really want to go for it, but getting them to run is not guaranteed. See my post in your other thread, anyway.

Wine HQ ('sudo apt-get install wine' to install under Ubuntu)

TransGaming Inc. (one of the few pieces of software for Linux that's not free)

I would suggest you try the wine compatibility level first. I think its the easiest to use and it works great with most windows software.
