I play a lot of PC games with Bootcamp on a Macpro laptop and all of
them work well. This includes online games like World of Warcraft, and
non-online games like Hearts of Iron 2 (all versions), HOMM5, Warcraft
3, Medieval Total War 3, NHL 2008, Rybka Chess, you name it...
As for the internet, PC under Bootcamp will only connect to my wireless
router if it is not encrypted. So use either a direct connection or an
unencrypted router. And no, I don't know why and I didnt spend anyu time
trying to find out why.
At work I have a Quad Mac with Bootcam, and both connec flawlessly to
the Internet through the direct Ethernet connection, and games work fine
too.
