That is more than okay, since you have 4 cores.
And 93° C is still below the 105° C Tmax (maximum CPU temperature befor automatic shutdown).
Playing a 3D game is CPU intensive, thus the CPU usage and the heat (CPU gets hot due to more power being used due to more cycles it has to run).

Apple calculates load a bit odd.
When windows says 20% or 100% they are talking normalized to the max load of the entire CPU.
Apple's activitiy monitor normalizes to the max load of a single thread. Which can result in a load of 380% on a dual core chip with 2 threads.
