Hi, i've found a nice site about Games for Ubuntu and also with Wine tips, it's in Portuguese, but it have a English version.

Thanks for sharing

I've been looking for a lot of Ubuntu games recently, I want to prove to some sceptical gamer friends that you can get some ace games for this platform

True Tautoa, i think is really important to share that kind of information, most hardcore gamers (me included) don't know that cool games run on Linux, some are even native on Linux like Dofus and Regnum.

That are some problems in the emulation yes, but are few, and I'm not a little worried with a little-translucent-half-not-seeing-shade on my Silkroad, it have to run in a smaller window than your desktop resolution, but like i said, nothing of this take out the pure fun that I'm having in playing Silkroad on my Ubuntu. I'm enjoying it fully

, even more than i did in the age that i was still using Windows™.

See ya!

The site looks great, but the english language version doesn't appear to go very deep. Hopefully all of the pages will have an english language version in the future? Looks like a good resource.

MarkLori, until that day comes, try use the "translator" firefox plugin, use the Yahoo! Babelfish client, it translate a lot of languages. I ever use it to surf Japanese sites. It's work pretty well

Suggestion: If you are interested in the site, maybe you want to collaborate in translate it more deeply

Or tell other people about it, so if it gets popular, it will be more probable that people will help translate it to their languages.

See ya.

I've been watching the site for awhile, but the updates are always few and far between.
Lost interest in it some time ago.

I don't think so hikaricore, in less than a month it updated with Sikroad Online, Tales of Pirates, MU Online and Warcraft III - Reing of Chaos.

And one single person to take care of the site is normal that it updates is slow some times, if people helped a little more... and if you don't want to put your hands on work, just divulgating it helps a lot

I'm quite aware of how much trouble it is keeping a site current: Ubuntu Gamers Arena

I meant no disrespect, I'm just used to sites being updated more often or I get bored lol.

Between the three of us (CK, AI, and myself) even keeping UGA updated is a chore. I just run out of time in the day more often than not. >.< Post news or sleep... hmm... passes out on the floor. ^_^

I just refreshed the next minute and there was a thousand comments. Nice site but my main game on the PC is WoW and only WoW.

Ho hikaricore, it's ok man, i too din't meant disrespect, i just pointed out that any helps is welcome, divulging helps a lot

I understand what you mean, i too, when i go to some site that not change, i get bored... but I'm not bored with Ubuntu Games, cause I'm ever in the Brazilian Ubuntu Forum, and Coringao is ever there too (The admin of the site). So it's ever refreshing in the "Games area" like that one here.

Sorry for my English, it's not perfect... =( I hope it's understandable.

See ya.
