My little automated app installer tool, wisotool, now supports seven apps:
assassinscreed, diablo2, dragonage, morrowind, sims3, starcraft, and
wog (world of goo)
It also seems to run on Windows ok in Cygwin (though I've only barely
tested that).

Thanks to Austin for dragonage, morrowind, and some windows fixes,
and Eleazar Galano for a draft of the assassinscreed verb.

I've updated the doc at
  http://wiki.winehq.org/wisotool

It has a section explaining the difference between wisotool and somewhat
related things like appinstall and PlayOnLinux.  (In a nutshell, wisotool
is a winetricks-like tool for installing games automatically, with no user
interaction.  It caches .iso files to automate disc-swapping for
multiple-disc apps,
and caches cd keys to automate installers that need keys, but you
have to load the cache from your real copy of the cds or dvds first.)
