http://www.linux.org is a good site for starters.
http://www.ubuntu.com is a great distribution of Linux for newbies 
Mac is superior
I have always used a mac except for that brief moment of insanity when I bought a PC. Oh I don't even like to think about that
binny
PC has the video games, sadly...
Can't play Halo, Crysis (sp?), Oblivion, Portal, Half-Life, and a lot of other good things. Luckily, Blizzard has always made their games compatible with Mac

All the games you listed (less crysis) have a platinum rating on the wine app db.
Hoi Zaeme.
Platinum rating???

Yes, its the highest compatibility rating the db allows. It means that the game should install and work perfectly in wine in much the same manor as in windows without any complications.
Hoi Zaeme.
You might want to mention that Wine is a compatibility layer (of sorts) that allows you to install and run Windows applications on Linux...

Wine is a program which you can install on a linux or a mac based computer. once you have installed wine on your computer you can take an executable from windows (eg paint.exe) and run it through wine. The MS paint window will appear. The system isn't perfect. It only works with particular applications and particular things in the program may not behave as it should on windows. Therefore the people behind wine made an online database which would list all windows applications ever and would store how well the application would run in wine using the following categories; Garbage, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Most of the games you listed appeared on this database as the highest rating in compatibility and should work using this wine program.
Hoi Zaeme.
