WINE is a free, open-sourced Linux software that allows the user to install Windows software and games onto their Unix computer like Ubuntu or Fedora. PlayOnLinux goes further, It is a front-end to WINE allowing you to install any Windows application as long as you have the setup files required. PlayOnLinux will let you install Windows programs to a virtual drive even if they are not listed in the 1000+ list of software to chose from.
I have managed to run The Walking Dead, on my 13.10 laptop with Wine only.
I didn't have the setup files (Steam downloads the files) so I copied the files from my HDD to my laptop and just ran The Walking Dead.exe.
First time it didn't load so I downloaded a Directx9 file (after a quick google search) and it worked!
We will get back to this later.
To install Wine, you can go to the Ubuntu Software Center and search for it in the search bar or install the files from Terminal
==========
sudo apt-get install wine

Simple! For PlayOnLinux
It will be in the Software Center or try (untested)
==========
sudo apt-get install PlayOnLinux-
