Does parallells work for 3d games such as hl2, css, cod4? or do they only work on boot camp?

No, it only has basic 3D gaming support.

I heard Fusion now supports DX9.1, but im not sure if that is true. Maybe it would be worth trying?

Which is what you would expect, no?

You might want to have a look at CrossOver Games (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27200/crossover-games).

Just pay special attention to what games it supports. Most of them are through Steam.

I think parallels is enough for games! It has a big list (http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/features/3d/). If you have more, use Bootcamp - no problems ))
