    The windows games you are able to play using wine

    Which are the windows games you are able to play in linux using wine?. I recently installed playonlinux(www.playonlinux.com) a front end of wine . With it , it is possible to play a lot of windows games like gta vicecity, hitman, prince of persia , halo etc . It automatically downloads the required hacks and tricks to make a software run .

    You can check the Wine AppDB for that info. For me, Battlefield 2 works but Punkbuster doesn't, so I can't play on most servers.

    Starcraft is pretty much the only game I still play that uses wine.

    Team Fortress 2 and CoD2 (although CoD2 doesn't work with ATI, but it worked great with my Nvidia card). Also SimCity 4 Deluxe works well.

    CoD2 yes, but not on punkbuster enabled servers

    I remember playing CoD 1, CoD 2, Civilization 4, ANNO 4 (can't remember the year), Assassin's Creed (with some strange movement related issues)... Basically everything I normally play on Windows, but all running a bit worse (except Civ4, which ran a bit better, i think).

    farcry (getting it to work was a bit hard.. needed to download several .dll files., but now it works great.)

    The rest of the old games I play work with dosbox..
