You can try Wine. It can be downloaded at http://www.tucows.com/preview/10386/Wine. I havn't used it in a while and it can't run everything, but its worth a shot.

My personal solution for this type of thing is to have a few virtual machines setup in VirtualBox. Then you install the game in the virtual machine. Its a pretty nice setup that allows you to you run different OSes on the same machine (at the same time) and to easily share data between them. However it does require a valid copy of Windows and I havn't tested it with games that require a lot of GPU. You can find VirtualBox here: http://www.tucows.com/preview/614616/VirtualBox.

There are also a couple of tutorials for VirtualBox on butterscotch.com including this one: http://www.butterscotch.com/tutorial/How-To-Create-A-Virtual-Machine-For-Free.
