+googolplex! DirectX games, facebook, facebook games, other games, skype, garage-band, and many many more. Many of these *can* be tweaked into running under Linux, by somebody who knows how. My wife will *never* know how. Yum install "World of Warcraft" (or whatever game, which looks for the game installed on your NTFS file system, downloads anything needed, configures and leaves a ready-to-click-and-play WoW on the Linux side) or forget it, you're not ready to push Windows off the desktop.
Go to PlayOnLinux web site, download and install it. Then you can install 70+ games via their interface. Each will have their own tweaked wine configuration.
But I suggest using CentOS 6 for games, it is *much* closer to Fedora (newer all together).
