There is one Windows game I wish for the life of me I could get working under linux, and that is Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. It supposedly worked at one point under wine, but that was years ago, and it has since been broken, though I haven't tried installing it lately. I would love to get this one working.

Other than that, I am actually quite amazed at the progress Wine has made. Then again, I have been using Linux for so long, that I remember when Wine could barely run notepad and solitaire, and even then they'd be quite crash prone.

At the moment I'm playing warzone 2100, which is a great game
I also have warsow, rtcw:et + tce and sauerbraten, but because my university decided to close tons of ports I'm not able to play them online :(
