Is there a way to play PC games on my mac?

[Nick Barnes]

I'm looking at programs such as VMware and Parallels Desktop which allow me to run windows on my mac if I understand correctly, would it be possible to play windows games then too?

bootcamp/dual boot is your best bet

Look into Wineskin. You can play using the method you're trying (VMWare.Parallels/Boot Camp), but I think Wineskin is easier, providing you can find a wrapper for the game you want (will make more sense as you look into it). You don't have to run Windows at all, and it (usually) runs like a regular program.

Of course, you'll need a copy of the game you wanna play. A good site to check out is this one. This guy creates wrappers for all different kinds of games. There's obviously lots of places to look for wrappers, but that site is good place to start.

Just use bootcamp breh, Macs can fukks with intel since 2006 or so and you've got no reason to go for emulation as it just adds an extra layer of abstraction and lessens performance compared to something such as bootcamp.
