Won't work for various reasons:

* Raw power of device is too slow for [such] performance.
* OpenGL ES 2.0 is used on N900, not OpenGL or DirectX. So you must emulate DirectX and/or OpenGL.
* WINE is a Win32/x86 API implementation. You'd need a x86-32 emulator which, on x86-64 (AMD64) works well with on hardware level with no performance loss, but on ARM will require software (such as QEMU) and have substantial performance loss.
* So the game must be ported to Linux/ARM, or ARM and then compatibility layer for Linux.
