Blizzard's games are wildly popular, and most of them work very well in Wine on Linux. Sure, they're not officially supported, but that doesn't mean that it's hard to get them running on Ubuntu.

Before you get started, make sure that you have the latest graphics drivers for your system installed. Playing games would be kind of hard without them.
