No real special sauce, but you have winetricks which has a few things to help solve common problems, and then winehq.org to see if others made a particular software/game on Linux. I've found it to work remarkably well with games. Basically install Steam from Wine and then install Steam games like you normally would. It mostly just works. I also installed and played "Path of Exile" through Wine with no problems. It's a fast, online hack 'n slash where if I died I would have to start over tens of hours of gameplay and Wine never let me down on latency or anything.
