    Games To Play List

    I can't believe Mirror's Edge doesn't work anymore. I had to update the guide when Wine broke after a Steam update. That was Wine 1.7.8 But I wonder if Wine 1.6.2 stable will still work with Mirror's Edge. Nobody has posted any bugs yet. I'll check WineHQ's I always though Evil Dead looked...

    Star Trek Online Guide

    Hey Dem, not sure if it works, haven't tried Star Trek in the long time. The Arc installation should work and then you can download Star Trek Online from there.

    No way! So if you add the DLC for Bioshock 2, the GFWL is patched out? I gotta try that! Otherwise, I'm waiting for the publisher to release a patch that removed GFWL. I'll keep a watch out for it.

    Did the script work for you? I was able to play Bioshock with the above instructions, but Bioshock 2 still doesn't work because of "Games For Windows Live" DRM. I actually tried Bioshock 2 this week with newer Wine 1.7.26 and it still doesn't work. I have not tried the organizing steam games...

    Fallout 3 Guide

    Yes, I still get notifications on our forum. I see those GDI errors. What version of Wine are you using? Also it errors GDI32, which probably means you either need Fallout 3 installed in a 32-bit virtual drive with 32-bit Wine or you need some 32-bit libraries in Linux.

    Adventures in VM's - Why we beat ourselves daily with a pen

    thats funny, pretty clever! I'm kinda surprised that minecraft runs in Win2000 I have played Warcraft, Doom II, Hexen and Heretic via IPX in Windows XP. Works great and isn't very hard to setup. This was in the last 6 years too. Its amazing how you can still use those old protocols even today.

    Assassin's Creed Revelations Guide

    Yeah, I ran Revelations in the same virtual drive as Brotherhood and it worked perfectly so far. The mouse sensitivity is a bit high and I even tried turning it down in the options, but still too sensitive.
