Check out wine or cedega, since CS does not exist for Linux you have to emulate windows using some sort of emulator. But how well that works is a different story. Some games work, some don't.
and how do u install it cause im a noob to stuff on installing programs on linux can u plz help me install it and send me the site to get those programes plz
Well you could have just used google to find them but I'll help you anyway. Check out freshmeat.net, it is a good resource for finding programs for Linux.
When installing programs there are different ways. The program may be a binary and then you just need to run ./install or ./setup (or the name of the installation file may be different). It may also be a rpm or a deb (depending on the dist you are using), then you should use "rpm -i <file>" or "apt-get install <program>", check out man rpm or man apt-get for more info on that.
But, if you are like me, most programs are source code and then you need to compile them for yourself. Some programs have a configure file with the source, then run ./configure from the source tree. That will give you a Makefile, if you have all the dependencies needed. The usual thing is just to run
./configure
make
su
<password>
make install
Some programs do not use any configure file. Some may use different ways to get installed.
If you still need help almost every package come with a README and most also have a INSTALL-file. Read those, they tell you how to do things. Just RTFM.

mkdir /usr/local/wine
chmod 777 /usr/local/wine
exit
cd /usr/local/wine
wget http://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wine/Wine-20050419.tar.gz
tar -xvzf Wine-20050419.tar.gz
cd wine-20050419
./tools/wineinstall
Now just follow the instructions and wine should be installed. This example is using a mirror in switzerland (fast for me at least) and unpacks it in the /usr/local/wine dir.
hey mezzymeat can u give me a link to get a free cedega.rpm so i can install it cause i got a new linux and i got cedega on it last night then i tryd installing my drivers for my video card and then it messd up every thing so i ahd to reinstall every thing so can u plz give me a link to get a free cedega.rpm thnxs
Sorry, IIRC cedega is not for free and I am not sure where to find any rpms for it. I used to be able to get WineX (the old cedega) via cvs but I think they have removed it now.
