    All of those will run max except for Crysis.


    edit: but not ALL of the latest games will. The 8600m GT DDR3 is getting old now...

    Well, if you're only going to play games, MBP really isn't the best option since performance in Windows under bootcamp is somewhat degraded. OS X doesn't have good gaming performance when run natively either.

    Actually...it's the opposite way. Windows runs better on a Mac then a PC.

    ^^

    + go into the Apple forums, and say that Windows' performance in Bootcamp is degraded ;)

    Performance is degraded for users running virtualization software like Parallels or VMWare instead of BootCamp.

    My Vista scores (3DMark, FPS tests, etc) are often highers than PC laptops with similar components. NO degradation thanks.

    And yes, modern games play on the MBP, I should know as it is my gaming rig. Crysis, Timeshift, World in Conflict, C&C3, etc.
