I'm not into playing games, but from what I have heard, WineX's recent
version, is able to play hundereds of games. Again I don't really know
if these games that you mentioned are supported or not, but as they are
popular games, I guess they are.
Using WineX, no Windows license is required. However WineX isn't Free
software (in both it's meaing). AFAIK anonymous cvs access is permited,
but no binaries are distributed for free. It seems they only give
binaries to subscribers.
If you choose to go with this opetion, report your experience to the
list. I bet many people are waiting to see weather WineX is a real
soloution or not.
PS: Personaly I don't beleive in Wine
