Have you tried wine. A lot of windows games play just fine on that although
you may need to install them from windows. It might need a little fiddling
to get D3D / GL to work but, don't think there is nothing too complex there.
you can always check http://appdb.codeweavers.com/ to see if the game you
want to play works under wine.
It is soooooo sucky that you get so many good games for windows like Half
Life and Diablo II and very few for Linux. I for one would like to see more
games supporting the linux os. I obviously wouldn't expect Microsoft to
release Age of Empires (a good game) for the linux os but would like
companies like Blizzard and Valve to put a little more effort into the linux
OS.
I keep my windows partition alive primarily for games(sad :(..... but true).
