Only if the game is purely OpenGL. Cedega and Winex produce mixed 
results at best. You could run Half-Life 1 with a bit of hacking if you 
wanted perfectly fine. The first time I played the game all the way 
through it was in Linux :).

Good luck with DirectX stuff though since Microsoft is good at making 
installing fun, and you do need Cedega or Winex if you attempt to play 
those types of games...
