The PC gaming experience is indeed superior, which is why it's better to 
have a copy of Windows than it is to buy a 360 or similar. It's also 
much cheaper - no extra hardware costs, except maybe for a separate hard 
drive, and the individual games cost less (and (mostly) no BS online 
gaming subscriptions).

Some people waste a lot of time and effort trying to get Windows games 
running on Linux using Wine and/or Cedega, but life's too short for that 
kind of fscking around IMHO (something I found out through bitter 
experience ;) ).

Me, I have my 'Wintendo' and I'm happy :)
