Have you tried winex?? From the project page in SF.net
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/winex):

"TransGaming is developing improvements to the Wine project to achieve
full Linux compatibility for games developed using the Microsoft®
DirectX® APIs."

That's what gamers are using to run windoze games on linux. Theres a
commercial version but you can checkout the source code from CVS and
use it freely.

On the XFS resize issue.... 
My guess is that you'll have to use something like Linux BBC
(www.lnx-bbc.org) or the lastest Gentoo install CD (both have network
and XFS support and all the tools you'll need) to: 
* make a network backup (using tar/cpio/dump/whatever-you-like), 
* modify your partition table, 
* format your new XFS partition(s),
* restore the backup, 
* chroot to your installed linux and reinstall the bootloader,
* unmount & reboot

Just my $0.02.
