I'm thinking of either buying a PC or a Macbook soon, but before I do, I want to know that if the Macbook with parallels would support these online games.
Here are the systems requirements:

CPU- Pentium III 1GHz or more or Pentium 4 1.8 GHz or more
Memory- 256MB or more or 512MB or more
Graphics- 64MB or more VRAM or 128 or more VRAM
Hard disk- 2GB or more
OS- Windows 2000 professional, Windows XP Home edition/professional ( not Windows XP pro x64 edition)
Misc. This requires DirectX9.0c
ADSL 1.5mbps or more
I think directx you have to download....

the other game is the same requirements except:
Graphics- 32MB or more VRAM
3D accelerator chip
Misc.- MS-IME

I was hoping parallels or bootcamp would be ok with these requirements because I am already used to using Macs.

It should be fine under Boot Camp, although I wouldn't expect it to be the most fluid experience given the standard MacBook's relatively lightweight graphics processor.

I have an iBook G4 right now and I was also wondering if this would work if I installed Windows XP through either, Q (QEMU), virtual PC 7 , Guest PC, or Darwine.

No, it won't. The VM-based products you mentioned have no 3D acceleration capability. Darwine won't work because it's compiled for x86 and not PPC.
