Games that run natively in Linux are many and varied and run without the overheads of using emulators like Wine.

Yes, you can play WoW on openSUSE 11.2, all you need to do is add the
line SET gxAPI “OpenGL” on the Config.wtf file on your WoW/WTF directory
note that if you have a intel X3100 video card you need to install
directX intead of add the SET line

i have got a nvidia 8800 graphics card:)in this case i have to install directX and how can this be installed??
The Wine homepage I think also has some information on what works and what not. WineHQ - Run Windows applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and Mac OS X
The latest (1.1.43) version of wine now runs Battlefield2 very well.
I installed it and was playing yesterday, although we still get the odd dark spots on the screen and you can’t change the key assignments, or play on Punkbuster enabled servers!
But at least the “invisible floor” problem was fixed :D.
I also played the new Wolfenstein demo under wine, it runs absolutely perfectly!
You could also try Crossover Games, or (dare I mention…) Cedega.
You have to pay for them, although crossover has a free trial period (and they support the wine project, not just take your money and try to make a Mac version of their product that they can make money on and give nothing back to wine!!) so you can decide whether it can actually run the game you want to play.
Oh, and Steam runs well under wine, I have Half Life 1 plus HL2 and episodes 1 and 2 playing prefectly.
