All Blizzard games: Diablo 3, SC2 (expansion coming in march!), WoW. Older titles might not work with the newest OSX.
Some other games that work:
Skyrim (download wrapper from portingteam, not officially supported)
Guild Wars 2 (official port, but still in beta status)
In most cases, even the native OSX versions of games have worse performance than the Windows versions on comparable hardware. Still in most cases the performance is acceptable for casual gamers.
To get more variety in games, you would have to buy a copy of windows and either install it on a separate partition using bootcamp (best performance), or buy something like Parallels or VMware to run it in a virtual machine (less performance, but no need for reboots!)
A question, if someone reads this: How do you buy a copy of windows 8? When you look on MS website or amazon, most of the time they offer either updates or "system builder" versions, which doesn't seem to be what I want.
