    best linux distro for gaming ?

    I'm not a distro hopper or tester, but I really like Mint 17 and openbox desktop. You can install all of your games in Cinnamon, but when you are ready to play with some extra performance, log into Openbox and just open Steam. Otherwise Ubuntu is great and I've heard Manjaro is another...

    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...

    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.

    Bioshock Guide

    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.

    Bioshock Guide

    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.
