How do I get Ubuntu to run games?
 
I am trying to run games like WoW n my Ubuntu computer but all when I try to install any of the files it either asks me to run, run in terminal, exit, or cancle. The only button that dose anything is cancle. I was told that Wine would work and was free and when I try to run Programs through it, it tries but only brings up a blank white page. Is there some plugin I need to read .exe and .ini and all the other extension types? And if there is can you send me a link?
