Intel Macs make it possible to play PC games.

Wait, so my dual core Intel mac will play a pc game if I install it on my HD? NO WAY! Really? So I could buy Metal Gear or some other game not made for mac and play it on my machine?

I'm not a techie by any means, but my son plays PC games on his MacBook Pro with dual core Intel. Check out this link from August 2008.

Can you play Windows games on an Intel-based Mac?

Check the web as there's probably newer info out there.

Way... but you have to install Windows to do it. Purchase Parallels or VMWare's Fusion. You can also dual boot your Intel Mac into Windows or OS X. If you do it that way, your Mac is a very fast Windows system.
