@RyanScfc1 Thanks for the comment, have you tried Playonlinux? I installed Steam through playonlinux, and after installing it ran it through wine....works great!
@Jakejw93 Yes I have. However it is very unstable. Perhaps I should try running it on a different Desktop Environment. But first I will have to find out how to get my AMD HD Radeon to work on Gnome...
I tried to get this to work but all the graphics were out of wack

@awkwardaznx Which is why you should always shut down compiz before you play games in linux.
Add shortcuts for metacity --replace and compiz --replace. So that you can turn compiz off and on before and after you play the game.

I didn't watch the video yet but does L4D2 run nicely as well? How about the multiplayer mode, works fine?
Thanks!

I want to thank you for taking the time to review how well games work on Linux.
I am envious though, as my Steam can't run well without crashing and closing down.
I actually have a great custom PC, but I need to run Windows for my gaming currently.
Maybe in the future, with a newer Wine, I can run it well enough to play these games.
