Games freezing on my macbook pro 13 inch

I have Warcraft 3 and Diablo 2 and I was trying to play them on my macbook pro (13 inch) and everytime I played for around 1 hour they would freeze up and not leave the game when I tried to leave. Does anyone else have this kind of problem or am I doing something wrong? Is it just macs being bad for gaming?

No I'm not, Warcraft and Diablo are mac compatible.

I also don't know what a virtual machine is, I'm new to this stuff.

Maybe it's overheating?

It could be but it has not only happened to my macbook pro but a couple of years ago I tried it on my Imac and it did the same thing.

A virtual machine would be like installing a Windows partition on your hard drive (Bootcamp) or installing a program like Parallels (which sucks all your system's resources) where you run Windows and Mac OS X simultaneously.

I also have a 13-inch Mac Book Pro. Honestly, playing games on a Mac computer just kind of sucks. Those freezes you are talking about are most likely related to OS X not understanding the game files. Before I can really help you, I need to know: what version of Mac are you running?

Leopard has quite a few known issues running games. I never could get Diablo 2 running in anything other than a window (instead of full screen). Unless there is a deeper problem we don't know about, my suggestion would be to just install boot camp and a copy of windows. Alternatively, you could uninstall diablo / warcraft and try a clean installation of those games. What kind of graphics card do you have?
