As many others have already said, gaming works fantastic on a MBP. Whatever you do, do NOT use VMWare/Parallels if you're gaming. Boot Camp is the only way to go.

Thanks. Is there really no way to handle it?
I am playing lots of games on there. Americas Army (2.8), Cortex Command (Low-grade, still good), Orbiter, Steam Games...
Still, thanks. I will see what I can do.
I play the following regularly:
Game Name (Engine Name)
Team Fortress 2 (Source)
Killing Floor (UT 2005)
Call of Duty 5 (COD 4)
Left 4 Dead (Source)
Settings for all games:
1440x900
Models, Textures, Etc: High
Anti-Aliasing: 4x
Anistropic Filtering: 4x
As long as a I set my fans in OS X (via SMC Fan Control) to 5-6 thousand rpms my computer can run at this level and stick around 65 C.
