Help a Gamer Out?

Alright zorin community, you have helped me once before, maybe you'll be able to help me with these few problems.

1. Keyboard emulation with a controller. I am not fond of playing games with a keyboard, I used to have a program that let me use a controller on games such as guild wars and minecraft. Is there a zorin/linux equivalent?

2. Starcraft 2. I love my blizzard games! I was able to get the original to download and work with WINE but not the second one. Please help if you can.

I look forward to hearing from you guys and thank you for your expertise in advanced :)

According to https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=20882 it doesnt run on Ubuntu 14.x
But there are a few ways noted here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/502807/s ... for-a-noob

What is QEMU? I am pretty noobish on linux you kinda have to treat me like I don't know anything (Which makes me feel like I need to hand over my nerd card btw)
