If the set-up executable for your game is setup.exe, from the command line type:

wine setup.exe

No. WineX used to be what is now Cedega; the Wine branch specifically designed for video games. It's a commercial off-shute of the main Wine distribution. While Cedega is a pay product, in the past you can get a CVS version for free. If you look around on the web, you can probably find instructions on how to get it. Who knows, maybe someone built a copy for Arch already.

Edit-->> I checked and there are Cedega packages in AUR. How cool is this community?
