[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 540055, member: 24160"] For games at this point in time, you'll want to use BootCamp and re-boot into windows. Parallels or VMWare Fusion, either one allows you to use windows apps without the need for re-booting and can use your BootCamped windows installation. Parallels currently only supports DirectX 8 and VMWare has only recently introduced beta support for DX9. Don't know how well it's working as I've been trying my best to only buy games that have been ported to OS X. There is some other info about the forum on Parallels and VMWare you can find by searching, but not really that much. Not really that much out on the internet either that gives a good comparison between the 2 of them in their current versions. It does seem, most have who gave both a try, end up going with VMWare.
