Now that I have the games, the major goal is to get them running. I already had Metro 2033 and knows it runs pretty well with Wine, tried Red Faction and Saints Row with no luck and still have to download Company of Heroes.
That leaves me with Darksiders which I got running but still have issues to make it fully playable.
First thing, I worked my way around the graphical glitches by running winetricks ao=enabled.
Then, with my Playstation 1 controler + USB adapter, the character was stuck looking at the sky, totally unplayable. Given this is a console port with no controller configuration, I ordered a XBox 360 controller which I got today.
Now the game is almost playable but the camera keeps rotating on and on, and the up / down camera is controlled by the X axis of the 2nd analog stick. The left / right camera was mapped on the Left Trigger, which would explain why it keeps spinning (you have to press it halfway to center it).
I tried fiddling with xboxdrv and jstest-gtk but made no progress, so maybe someone here knows more about Xbox controllers and Wine than me.
An old thread I have came across in the past: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=646564
One thing I didn't try when I created the thread was simply unplug the controller and using the keyboard + mouse. It works fine. Still a few graphical glitches but at least it's fully playable. Wish I got the joypad working, this is not the kind of game that is really enjoyable with a keyboard+mouse combo.

I managed to find a configuration for xboxdrv that makes Darksiders playable. It's not perfect, there are stille some misconfigured buttons but this should not affect the game a lot.
The config I use is the following: --deadzone 8000 --trigger-as-button --ui-axismap X2=ABS_Z,Y2=ABS_RX,LT=ABS_RY,RT=ABS_RZ
--ui-buttonmap Guide=BTN_BACK,Start=BTN_SELECT,DU=BTN_MODE,DR=BTN_THUMBR,DL=BTN_THUMBL,TL=BTN_TL2
It's also available automatically with Lutris here: http://lutris.net/games/darksiders/ (please note that the installer itself is not yet finished, so it requires running some stuff you'll find on WineHQ AppDB in order to get the game running)
