Yes, indeed you can. And it plays quite well.
You must use wine, the newest version is preferred. You will also have to use a restricted driver for your video card, shouldn't matter if it's ati or nvidia.

It gives alot of in-depth install information for it, but I found that I could just install it, use a couple regedit tweaks (fbo, and video ram) and it works fine for me despite a couple graphic glitches and a crash every once in a while, so save often. I'm using a Radeon 4850.
