    i would try counter strike source through crossover. it runs better than tf2. at medium settings and full resolution you can actually get decent frame rates.

    Boot camp is definitely your best bet. The only games I have set up on my OSX side are Second Life and Porrasturvat..lol.

    Or just play Blizzard games like someone mentioned earlier.

    If you don't want Windows then Just download Crossover but the only downside is that it runs games on DX8. I prefer BootCamp though.

    Just WoW. You will get the same frame rates in it in either XP or OS X. Since thats pretty much the only game I play on PC... great for me :-D
