From your list, I managed to run Starcraft and Broodwar through Wine (0.9.X).

I didn't try any of the other games.

There's a Loki installer for Jedi Outcast, which I used and it runs fine. I also play The Frozen Throne, which works fine.

All the Diablo's work well under wine. I run Diablo II: LoD out of the box with no issues. The sound used to go out on it after a half out playing or so, but that was on wine-0.9.8, and I just went to the ~x86 wine-0.9.12 so I haven't tested it out yet.

I haven't done it, but I've seen/heard that Steam works.

Warcraft 3 is rated as gold, so it should be fine...

The only one that I know has issues is Guild Wars. I'd really like to be able to play this easily on linux, so I'll be trying to get this to work under wine in the next few weeks (after I finish these finals).

Oh, and for any of you that use Xfire I got it working the other day, and it's been running fine on my computer ever since... otherwise there's always Xfire for Gaim plugin...

cool, thnx. I'm running into a LOT of sound problems using wine.

Runing warcraft 3 or the frozen throne sound is either really really choppy and then it quits on me, or if i run it with the -opengl flag i get this

What version of wine are you using?

If it is prior to wine-0.9.12 then you need to emerge wine with opengl support:

My $0.02

I run Jedi Outcast and Warcraft 3 flawlessly, and used to be able to run Diablo II (don't know what happened.) I've also fiddled about with Starcraft, and I think it's running fine.

As far as Warcraft 3 goes, here are my specs, and it runs at windows speed or faster, with only the occasional wierd missing polygon:
Wine 0.9.12
Windows 2000 mode
OSS for sound
Using ATI's fglrx driver
running with -opengl

Hope that helps. I've had annoying problems with older games, but the relatively new ones, like WC3, things run pretty smoothly.

Try at http://www.linux-gamers.net/ and http://www.liflg.org/,

What i'd do is just install the cvs version of cedega. thats what ive got installed on my archlinux system.

steam and Counter-Strike are working fine with wine here
I don't know about CS:S but I assume it would work too

For the folks trying to run Guild wars with wine, have you tried the various command line options that guild wars has?

guildwarsguru.com forum archived article for more info

However the -dx8, -windowed, -noshaders, -nosound options might help some what. Well assuming they still work as suggested :p

Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy both work very nicely with Wine here. The audio has about a half-second delay for me unless I set the hardware acceleration in winecfg to Emulation, and then pops frequently unless I enable Driver Emulation. With both of those set sound works perfectly. I'm using the ALSA driver, 44.1 KHz.

Starcraft and Brood War are both fully playable in single player. Battle.net is still mostly unusable for me because of a certain issue.

Last time I tried Diablo (somewhere around wine-0.9, I think), its menus were all black screens, so you had to work your way through them by sound, but the game itself was completely playable in both SP and MP.

Hitman 2, Hitman Contracts, and KotOR 1 and 2 are queued for testing next rainy day.
