I only play few games on the PC these days. I'm playing Orange Box
(Half-Life 2 series, Team Fortress 2, Portal, all through Steam) since
Wine 0.5x.x and it seems to run, but only at Direct3D 8 (which looks
good). It's definitely slower than running Orange Box on Windows
though. That's why I bought a licensed copy of Windows recently
because it looks better and faster.

As for native games, like Quake 3, Doom 3, Enemy Territory, Enemy
Territory: Quake Wars, Penny Arcade Ep 1.... it feels smoother/faster
on Linux than on Windows. At least that's how it runs on my machine.
Others say it's faster on Windows.
