From the Frag dept.:
The popular distribution formerly known as Mandrake, and with no Purple Rain to be seen, will include in its next 2007 release Transgaming’s Cedega engine to play mainstream Windows gaming titles out of the box.

...Currently Transgaming boasts support for titles including Battlefield 2, World of Warcraft, Civilization IV, Guild Wars and the essential Half-Life 2, among other top rated Windows games.

Mandriva hopes the inclusion of Cedega in the install package will help push Linux as a desktop to the very market that usually wouldn’t give it a second look — the gamers. Or, perhaps more accurately, the mainstream gamers as Linux has had its fair share of Linux based games over the years, but nothing that would come close to mainstream Windows titles.
