    Yes and no. Fusion has limited support for DX - 8, so you can play some windows DX based games, but it's not fast.

    Parallels though I've found is faster then VMware and has the advantage of being able to use your bootcamp image inside of parrallels. The downside is that you have to buy parallels.

    Here's my home setup.

    I created a 60gig windows partition through the bootcamp tools. I use this if I need to do more serious windows work (basically play games). In OS X I use parallels and instead of creating a seperate windows image install it accesses the same 60gig partition I use for bootcamp. That way 1 windows install accessible at all times. Easy to transfer data back and forth between OS X and windows and just makes sense.
