 As you can see I didn't exactly test it with a very broad range of games. Quite a few of the games I wanted to play just plain didn't install, let alone run. 
  
 Now the marketing on the Transgaming website would have you believe that many games will run flawlessly. And they are not entirely wrong. Each version of [Wine]/[Cedega] did get better and better and "support" more titles. But the games I ran were never "perfect" or flawless. There was always some 'tweaking' to be done. Some were very good, like Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3, but they still had non-fatal but annoying glitches or reduced performance. Some [Cedega] users report complete "Windows like" success when running games like Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike. The product has received many good reviews. But be aware that your mileage may vary. 
  
-Other caveates are that [Cedega] only really supports nVidia graphics cards for 3D games. Forget about using DRI/Mesa 3D drivers. ATI binary driver support is also patchy.

 So like I said, if your time is money, then you're better off maintaining a "Wintendo" partition or, if you want to save yourself the frustration expense of maintaing an NVIDIA GPU habit, get a console. When you tire of your games you can always modchip the console, install [Linux] on it and use it as a media centre.
