What is the Best way to play PC only games on a mac. From what I have read I assume Boot Camp is the best, but am not quite sure.

If I wanted to go the virtualization route, which would be better for gaming, VMware Fusion or Parallels?

For playing games I would have to suggest using bootcamp, using virtulization uses a ton more ram etc, its effectivly running 2 computers at once

Bootcamp unless you got 8gb of RAM and SSDs

Boot Camp. End of story.

Why would you pay an extra $80 to run games at a lower performance? Just so you can save a few extra seconds from restarting?

I remember someone once asked (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=566162&highlight=gaming+boot+camp) a similar question like this...
