You can try using wine from http://www.winehq.com/ (which i have used with limited success). Also loki games www.lokigames.com have made many a game for the linux OS.

My current favorate is supatux (a penguin super mario) which keeps my kids happy for hours on end. Whoever you are thatn wrote it I owe you a beer

hahahahaha! wat im trying to say here is like the Ragnarok Online, GuildWars, Gunz.. etc.. is WINE accurate to run these games? and wat about other windows applications? like winamp, yahoo.. irc etc.. must know things before entering into a deep dungeon of FC4

Never run under Wine what you can run natively. Winamp has superior native equivalents (xmms, amarok). Yahoo! messenger has a Linux version, or you can use gAIM or Kopete. There are far more IRC clients available for Linux than for Windows. RO (unfortunately, I used to play it) doesn't have a native equivalent. Wine will probably do it. Guild Wars is known to work. No mention of Gunz. It might work, you'll just have to try it and see.
Ports of commercial Windows games can be found at tuxgames.com. I personally run:
Corewars (geeky assembler programming challenge ), BZFlag (3D tank shooting game), Nexuiz (FPS), Return to Castle Wolfenstein (costs), Enemy Territory (engine is closed-source), NetPanzer (multiplayer strategy), Neverball (very tricky 3D guide-the-ball type game), Freedroid (Paradroid clone), Enigma (2D puzzle), and Supertux. All native. I used to play Counterstrike as well, using Wine.

I've had a lot of problems using wine to play Starcraft, the game is pretty old and I becuase of that I thought it should work fine. Sometimes it doesn't read my disc, sometimes it doesn't connect to battle.net sometimes I can play but it lags interally like mad... ='(

and apparently Starcraft is.. "known to work" in Wine

run native linux games - i have ut2004, neverwinternights and planeshift on my FC4 install, which does me nicely.
