Is there anyone doing this combo ?
For Windows games I've used WINE, Crossover Linux, or Cedega. Which one I use depends on the game unfortunately, Luckily, I only have to worry about getting my old RTS games working.

Wants "real" Windows
Then dual boot or use Linux in a VM. Otherwise, it seems that you're describing the solution you want - real Windows, real Linux, no dual boot = virtualization....if the virtualization can handle the requirements for the games. IME, you end up with a virtualized video adapter and they typically can't. So that means either dual boot or virtualize Linux. Dual boot is not so much of a hassle, though - it wouldn't hurt him to actually learn to deal with it.
