GOG is a good platform. They don't always have the cheapest offer (not even for "their" games, Witcher 1 und 2), but they have a good mission, being DRM free. And it was about time there was a good place for buying the classics, computer games are old enough for that now (so older games are not automatically too old to enjoy if you didn't grow up with them).
And think about the perspective. 2 years ago, there was nothing if you wanted to reliably play games on linux, apart from the few old games released for that OS and the few good FOSS-indie games. Wine is nice, but not reliable. Now there is the humble bundle, there is Steam, and there is also GOG - three good options, two of them without DRM, all of them not expensive.
It starts to become viable to get rid of Windows even if you are a gamer (I'll probably wait for League of Legends and Planetside 2 though, but only because I have Windows 7 already installed. If that breaks, why bother?).
