    Here is a short list and some fixing information.

    Do not use the graphics card driver that is on the leopard dvd disk while in windows you will find out that no games will function if you use these drivers go to www.intel.com /www.ati.com/www.nvidia.com and download the drivers for the correct graphics card and it will fix everything under windows.


    Here is a list of games so far and the list is limited because of the graphics card in certain mac's

    Halo

    Doom 3 (as long as you do not run it with the full settings)

    Half life 1 (2 Doesn't Support any of the chipsets in the mac and has a hell of a time running)

    GTA any work III and vice city

    Battle for Wesnoth (free mmorpg)

    Stepmania (ddr simulator)

    Frets On Fire (guitar hero simulator)

    go to your graphics card web page and download the windows version drivers and install them in bootcamp instead of the ones included with leopard.

    I've found bootcamp to run Xp quite slowly. Maybe that is just Xp with its outdated technology. The really annoying thing is that it doesn't support multitouch which is a must for me.
