Linux can play *some* games, using a program called WINE, and another called Cedega.
The compatibility lists are here:

Some games (One's that use OpenGL and Direct3D rendering methods as opposed to DirectX, such as Unreal Tournament and Quake 3) are linux ready straight out of the box.

Yes Linux can play games and a lot of publishers are starting to make Linux version but if you want to play the majority of games that are out you are stuck with Windows. The only other real option is to goto a console.
