In my experience, action games in VMware are problematic. I have used
several versions of VMware. Sound has gotten a lot better, from
unusable to minor stutters. Playing video clips from the TurboTax CD
was unusable. Haven't tried video w/ the latest beta. Within VMware,
Freecell is about the only playable game. For things that need 3D
acceleration, stick to native booting Windows. Wine quite possibly
will be worse. YMMV
