Yes, this is the way it should work. But I don't 
think that Wine is able to run such complex games yet. However I don't know, so 
you should just try. If it doesn't work, there is a special (commercial) Wine 
version optimized for Games. It's called winex and can be found at http://www.transgaming.com/. However it's 
not free..

    Hi,

    you can use Wine for both - the "fake windows 
    drive" method is preferred, though...

      Hi,

      I ma a little confused as in what I can use 
      wine as, can I just have linux as my only operating system, with wine 
      installed and install windows applications onto a 'fake windows drive' or 
      do I need to still have windows installed as well as linux, which wine 
      uses executables from the windows partition?
