All the games comes for windows. And wine is crap it only runs a few games and the result is also not good. VirtualBox is also not an alternative since it run windows under ubuntu, so if im running a game like modern warfare 2 then its very slow.

You don't even need a good computer for playing games using WINE.

I'm not a computer freak, but I work at home with ubuntu only, since 5 years now (ubuntu 4.10). It works fine for me. @The_Kid: It's not the fault from Linux, if some hardware does not work like it should be. It's because lots of manufactures keep everything behind closed doors. My laptop IBM R51 (2004) runs fine, but I'm sure it would not run with windows vista, nor windows 7! I'm very happy with ubuntu, and will stick to it! Hi all!
