A lot of games being released are having linux binaries written for them. Such as Quake, Half-life 2, CounterStrike, etc. There are many games being ported. They require you buy the cd, just as you would for a windows machines, and then they tell you how to get the game running under linux. It's not hard, just different.
I dont play many games, but I do a couple, and play them on both windows and linux.
I have 1 machine that runs windows xp pro. The other machines, 6 or so run debian linux. I use linux because I like it. I think it's more configurable than windows and thats one of my many reasons for running it. Windows however does have its vantage points. I'm not going to get into the windows vs. linux ordeal here. If you want to try linux, go for it, start out slow and get more and more in depth.
Latch and myself are both linux gurus and I certainly am and sure he probably is too, willing to help with questions you might have regarding linux. Please however try to find the answer yourself first, because there is a plethora of info. about linux out there.
