If you take a look at the requirements to run these, you'll notice that they do not include the low end "VirtualBox Graphics Adapter" which all of your guest include. And careful, I do not mean the card that you have on your physical computer. I'm talking about your virtual one.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Seeing you haven't given any useful information at all, such as what your host OS is, what Windows guest you installed, which version of VirtualBox you are using, whether you installed the guest additions, How much memory, CPU etc your Host has, if the guest was set up correctly, it's hard to say with 100% certainty.

Attaching the vbox.log (compressed) for the guest would be useful.

But the bottom line is virtual machines are not good at running games. So they probably won't run. At least not well.
