One word: No.

PC games run with Microsoft Windows. PS3 games do not use Microsoft software to play.

Instead of a cd use a thumb drive or sd card to tranfer since they are bigger.

Sure, it's real. But have you noticed there's a compatibility list? As of now they support only 27 games.
Also, you have to make sure you can run one of the Linux distributions listed in the requirements section on your PS3. (Sorry, can't help you with that one)

If you ask me, it's too much hassle for 27 games but if you have the time & patience it would be a nice tech experiment to try.

Sure it's real, but the PS3 version of Linux has no 3D support. You could compile wine (since CrossOver is a x86 binary) and you may be able to play Mine Sweeper... SLOWLY.
