Bootcamp definitely does allow such things. My kids run all their PC
games on an iMac using Bootcamp with no problems. World of Warcraft is
a Mac game as well as PC, but my boys run Call of Duty, Halo (II I
think), Portal, Bioshock etc using Bootcamp.

I don't think any virtualization software will give the same
performance, at least not yet.
