Installing and running games

I install game after game through Wine but not one game will play after installation. Do I need to install more apps or do games just not work on Ubuntu 12.04?

You need to specify which games you are talking about to get any help. — reverendj1, Jul 26 '12 at 21:05

http://appdb.winehq.org/ has an extensive list of games and apps that work with wine. Any games that are listed as platinum or gold for your version are worth trying out.
