Parallels is slow at games for a few reasons. First it will only use 256mb of VRAM which pretty much kills modern games. Second it is virtualizing your hardware which means it's not natively using your GPU.

Best bet is to dual boot windows in bootcamp. Parallels just won't cut it with a modern game like that.
