Isn't it better, performance wise, to just dual boot the mac? I'm pretty sure if you want gaming performance Boot Camp is the way to go.

What game will you be playing with it? Not every game is compatible.

From my experience, XP is a little snappier in Parallels, and Vista is a little quicker in VMWare. I like the integration of Parallels into OSX a little better tho.
