Running windows games in linux is not 100% perfect. At the end of the day, getting one thing to work from one operating system to another is extremely difficult. Up until now the Wine team have made a miraculous effort to get this far.
The first thing you should do is check to see how well your game is supported in linux, and under what version of Wine. Check their database of games and wine versions here - http://appdb.winehq.org/ A platinum rating suggests the game or application runs well with little to no problems, whilst a Bronze rating means the program has little chance of running or runs poorly. Start with this database and I'm sure other members will chime in with some good advice to. Wine can be a minefield, keep your expectations low and realistic. Of course, we'd prefer you to choose only linux games, but that is another thread
