    Games

    I am using Sues and am only just getting to grips with Linux OS so I am not entirely sure about its capabilities, I am wondering if it is possible to play windows games on a Linux system (namely Guild Wars). I have heard that you can use WINE, but that it isn't that effective and takes up a lot of space. What is the best way for me to play such games?
    Thanks for any help, it is most appreciated.

    I think the best way to play games is dual-boot. You can't get all games working at least not with the same performance.

    dual booting a system certainly depends on intrest of user because he had to shell out money for windows. but if the user is intrested in this ther's no better option than this.

    also now many game developers are releasing linux versions of their games.

    hope linux compete equally with windows in this aspect in near future
