Yesterday i tried the orange box on linux and every game ran quite well!just had to tweak wine a bit.Some games required Dx9.0c.I was unable to find a perfect tut to install dx9 on ubuntu but then wine doors -(a softaware to make wine more user friendly)came to rescue.I just clicked on Dx9 and it installed it in seconds.
Now i can run games like GUN,OB(Dx9 mode) spiderman 2, without any probs !!ill try harry potter and the order of phoenix now:D

will COD 4 work?

yes it will, it might require some compiling to add a patch to it. But if you are using the latest version of WIne I think that it should be fixed in there.

u can install Dx9.0c via wine-doors or here is a full howto- *wine-review.blogspot.com/2007/11/directx-90c-on-linux-with-wine.html
I prefer doing it via wine doors.I have provided the DL link in my 1st post.

You mean linux, right? C,mon man I am sure it applies to linux in general. Ubuntu is a distribution. Linux is the operating system that rocks.

.The latest version you can install is 9.58 usually in Ubuntu you get 9.54 if IM correct. Hardy heron comes with 9.58 there sre some thingts not supported in 9.58 as 9.57 like bink decompression (is that what it is called?).

You can play MP as long as you don't logon to PB enabled servers. Although you might only find a few for whatever game you are on.

If you are into RTS games then battle for Wesnoth is a must. Especially if you like the story factor :).
