You can get latest version of wine (1.5.x) by adding the Ubuntu Wine PPA to your sources, then refreshing the update manager.
Wine has a configuration gui, "Configure Wine" in the launcher or winecfg in a terminal. You can launch a terminal by entering "terminal" in the launcher or hotkeys CTRL-ALT-T.
I'm not sure how you get the terminal output from steam launched game but I'm assuming you would have to launch steam from the terminal and the output from the program it launches would show up in the output.
If the "accelerated" driver is installed you should be able to run the "Nvidia X Server Settings" from the launcher or "nvidia-settings" in terminal to find exactly what version of nvidia driver you are running.
You can search the wine appdb to see user reports on what games work or somewhat work and work arounds in cases.
