I dont think the CS is released for Linux...
Also , Wine is free i guess but not that good as VMWare...
Use VMware - tis the best in switchng OSes...

Wine is the best when it supports the application that u run because wine can run it at almost full speed (as wine is not a emulator). But, while vmware can emulate and hence can run everything, it runs things atleast 50% slower with no acceleration whatsoever.
Most probably winex (not free) supports all the popular games. And with a lesser probablity, wine supports it. Do check out this:

@tanush: If you can spare about $5 a month, you can get yourself a subscription to Cedega, from TransGaming, which is simply the best way to play games designed for Windows on your Linux machine. It supports nearly every game made for Windows, doesn't show any noticeable performance drop and configuration is down to a minumum, not to mention that games are supported nearly instantaneously after their release. Get more information at transgaming.org

yeps, Cedega is the way to go.
I was spellbound at the recent Suse Linux 9.2 Games demo at Novell, with native Windows games like Q3, Unreal, CS, giving much better performance while running on Linux, mostly because it uses OpenGL api instead of Direct3d

WINE is the retronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator".
From winehq.com:
Quote:
Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix.
Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available.
