For the Nvidia drivers, check out this page:

For the game, you need to say which game it is and what kind of media you have it on.

That.s a windown game and it will not run natively under Linux, since it's not a Linux file type. However, you may be able to get it to run if you install Cedega (it's an emulator which allows you to run some Windows games). Goos luck.
