Linux gaming. Let's face it - it's terrible. Tux Racer? Please. Quake III, okay, I'll give you that. NeverWinter Nights? If you can get it to work. WINE? If you have enough hair left to pull out, WINE is a good choice.

I play Unreal Tournament 2004 and Red Orchestra 3.0 under Linux: the first was installed with an executable installer located on my purchased DVD (just like under Windows), and the second was installed using a similar installer, downloaded from the web. And in a couple of weeks, I'm gonna enjoy DOOM 3 under Linux as well.
"Linux gaming" is not terrible - it's just as good as it is in the Windows world. The problem is rather the lack of support from studios. Epic Games and id Software, two major ones, have shown the way: I bet high-quality ports for Linux are going to be more and more common in the short to mid-term.
