i'd have a look at wine if i were you. its a compatibility layer (emulator) for windows and its website is at winehq.net and will allow you to look at it and see if it will run on linux.
if it doesn't run and you've got a reasonably poweful machine then you can run windows in a virtual environment and play it through that, though you might run into performance issues.
imho, if you need to use your pc for proper games then i'd leave windows on it and dual-boot linux to do your normal stuff and just game on windows

I've read reports of people that made it work perfectly under wine. I don't own it myself so I haven't try on my own.
