If they don't actually tell you in the "term of use/user agreement" that you can't use linux to play the game, there should really be no problem.

"I'd just like to point out that this is all highly illegal."

I'd just like to point out that this "Promoting Linux" site and its author is a fraud. Since it's 100% made up of disinformation.

This is a great article and there's nothing illegal about it. WinE is 100% Free software.

Anonymous - Games designed for a Microsoft OS don't belong to Microsoft, and so long as you actually have a copy of the game, there is absolutely nothing at all illegal about playing it on Linux in any way, shape, or form. Because if you own the game, it is yours to do with as you will. Please get your legal facts straight before posting again.

Anyway, in regards to the list... cool, but I wouldn't list the games that have to be run under Wine as "Linux-able" - simply because it requires emulation to play, and isn't really supposed to work on Linux. Plus, it has some serious bugs and game performance issues, at least in my experience of trying to play HL2 on Wine on Ubuntu... :-(

It's misleading to call these "Windows games". Many of them are not Windows exclusive.

"This is not a ‘real site dealing with real issues’. Every corner of this site is a joke. All the content is *pure crap*. Can’t you see the TRADEMARK SIGN on “The Truth”?

We tell you that 1) Linux will make you hack both your ears off and 2) it will sap and impurify all of your precious bodily fluids. There are 100s of other statement such as this. And you think this is real?

Thanks for ruining a good joke and making me post this.

You people make me sick. Get *the fuck* off the internet. We don’t want your kind tainting the rest."

Seriously guys, read before writing ^^

Speaking to the Anonymous guy who expressed doubts about the legality of this whole thing: We don't need permission (legally) to run the software under linux or any other platform, if you can write an emulator to run it. By the way, that site is either some of the most serious satire I've ever seen, or the result of some twisted Microsoft Get-the-Facts campaign :)

I'd just like to point out that this is all highly illegal. You do not have Microsoft permission to make copies and run Windows code under Linux. When these things start to phone home, and they come for you, don't say you were not warned. It happened to a friend’s cousin of mine.

I'ld like to mention Eve Online.
It has a Linux Client which is quite easy to install but not quite up-to-date.
If you wish to, you can even run the Windows version with the newest Wine after some tweaking.

This is just my list of the top 10 first person shooters (FPS) games. I will save my lists of other game genres at a later time!
