Many of the games I used to play on my pc do not run well on my macbook. The older games require Classic mode, and the newer games all run with low fps. Basically the only game I can get to run consistently well is Warcraft III. Are there any other games that run well on the macbook?

I guess it's the MB with GMA950 graphics?
There are a few thing you can do to make games run better,
be sure you have atleast 2GB ram (it's cheap nowadays) and be sure u have enuff free HD space.

Check around the forum about games that run well on macbook,
btw there are several macbooks, the ones with x3100 graphics and 9400 graphics will run games alot better.

The LEGO Batman/Indy/StarWars games will run well on your machine so will Pirates! & TombRaider Anniversary. All these games run native (and supported) on any Intel Mac.

[Disclaimer] Those games happen to be ones I helped port as part of my day job [Disclaimer]

I did a quick wiki search and looks like the only 2.2Ghz MB's were the Late 07's which include the x3100. So you have a lot more options than the GMA950 at least =). I suggest Half-Life 2, hell the orange box actually. Greaaat games.
