Haven't used many others, but I liked Ubuntu from the time I used it.
For gaming on Linux, there isn't much you can do except to hope that the games you play will work with wine/cedega unless they are compatible with Linux.

That is it right there. If you want to game, Transgaming/Cedega are your only "real" options for anything Windows-only. Wine works with some games, but most will only run with Cedega's emulation.
happypenguin.org has some great games designed specifically for Linux if you'd like to check those out. Also, any Unreal Engine game, (UT:2003, UT:2004, America's Army, etc) will install natively on Linux.
As far as the distro goes, Ubuntu is good for the new user, but don't right off Fedora, OpenSuSe, Mandrake, Zenwalk, or many other good distros that are new-user friendly.
