Just a small observation about the following titles on the 'bad' list,
probably applies to others

Battlefield 1942	Digital Illusions/EA Games	2002	88.72	Bronze Gold Silver
Battlefield 2	Digital Illusions/EA Games	2005	89.99	Bronze Gold
Battlefield 2142	EA DICE/EA Games	2006	79.96	Bronze Gold 	
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare	Infinity
Ward/Activision	2007	92.37	Bronze Gold Platinum Silver

These games ordinarily work quite well or flawlessly, but use
PunkBuster anti-cheat software for most multiplayer servers, which
will never work in Wine legitimately, so it might not be entirely
correct to say Wine handles them poorly when there is nothing it can
do about the situation when the makers of the software intend it to
only be binary compatible with genuine Windows.

Otherwise, that's interesting data.
