Well I can't help you with the games, but I do know you need to install the guest additions (in the guest) and unless it is Windows vista or 7 you need to install them while the guest is in safe mode.

See Chapter 4 Guest Additions in your VirtualBox users manual for full details.

There is a sticky which discusses games in VMs. Basically they aren't always successful, especially when resources from graphics hardware is needed. VirtualBox doesn't give your VM direct access to your graphic card. If you want to run Windows natively on your Mac, install it into a BootCamp partition. Remember that after installing Windows on a BootCamp partition, you will need to install the Mac Hardware drivers for Windows. Check the Apple website for details.
