Default Linux Games

I have heard of this program called, wine, does it make every game run on Linux? I really don't wanna get LInux if I can't run my games on it!!

Its works for some with lots of trial and error tweaks to wine.I found it very troublesome frustrating and time consuming myself.But I got a couple to work.From what I hear winex is better, but I think its payware.

pay for Winex at transgaming.com. There you will get to see a list of games supported by it. The list grows every day.

But for the mean time, Linux is not a gaming OS. Games like UT2k4 are nativly supported, but most are not.

Here's the full list of games that have been officially tested with WineX: http://www.transgaming.com/dogamesea...king&showall=1

If you want to try WineX before you get a subscription, use GetWineX to grab the latest CVS version. It's probably not as stable as the release version, but it'll give you a good idea of how well games are going to work.
