The is a program made by apple (its free) called bootcamp that when run will make you a usb stick or cd with Windows drivers for your system then split the system into mac/windows partitions (manually sizeable) and then reboot so you can install windows (I think its only Vista or 7 support in Leopard, may support XP too though).
It even has software to install in windows so you can use all the mac function keys and etc.

The thing is, all those games are available for Windows too, in most cases costing less, and in all cases performing much better. So with Bootcamp running the really is no reason to try and play games in OSX (this is the main reason I came back to windows, well apart from *vomit* Finder)
The Five Best Mac Games
1. Watching PC Users Struggle with Hot Corners
Arguably the greatest game on a Mac, thanks to the recently released DLC level, “Where the hell did Netflix just go”. After some PC luddite clumsily hits a Hot Corner, it’s a race against time. The goal is to see how long you will try and guide them to get back their windows before snatching away the mouse. You’ve really got to master the sneer of contempt at the end to get into the higher levels, though.
2. Having Zero Shortcut Icons
This game rules. It’s free on all Macs, because of the cloud I’m pretty sure. Since you can’t break the aesthetics of that purple-y space background and the Dock is pretty much impossible to work with, you have to play Having Zero Shortcut Icons. To start it, you just click the little magnifying glass in the top right. Since you don’t remember what anything is named, you just have to type letters until you win!
3. Licenses Lasso
In this game, you test your ability to withstand pain. Basically, every time you’re tempted to buy a PC, you play it by reminding yourself of the $6000 worth of Mac OS software you got for $5 and an empty can of Pepsi with your student discount in college. You can score bonus points if Adobe CS6 costs more than any car you’ve ever owned.
4. Holding Out for Chrome
This is pretty much like Halo’s Firefight mode. Instead of having fun with your friends gunning down Covenant, you try and see how long you can use Safari before you succumb to downloading Chrome. There’s a PC game like it called “Sweet God Please Don’t Make Me Use Internet Explorer.”
5. Interrupting Stories about Computer Viruses
Another multiplayer title, this game is probably the best. To play, you just need to find any friend moaning about their computer having a virus or running slow. Loudly proclaim to everyone that can hear, “Well, MY computer is a Mac, and it doesn’t GET viruses.” You can score extra points if they’re not even talking about something related to a virus and you somehow relate their problem back to the Mac’s superior OS. For a high score, make sure to draw out your “Well,” and push your Warby Parkers back up your nose as you peer down on the PC users.

I just really dont see the point of getting a mac and putting windows on it.
tbh i own a nice windows machine with a 580GTX and a Imac and i still prefer to play wow, Starcraft II Civ5 on my imac. Im not worried about the difference in frame rate as long as it playable.
At the time the mac looked perfect for my mother but it was probably the worst purchase she's ever made, was also my fault as i agreed that it looked perfect for her too and recommended she go ahead
But now with win and leopard latest, everyone is happy
Me neither... part of the premium for a mac is that it has OSX.
The problem with your frame rate argument is that most of the people on this forum are interested in the frame rate (damn them pesky overclockers!) . As for me... Give me WoW on my MBP any day, and an ice pack! it can get quite toasty on my knees! haha
