Maybe, if you hold your tongue right and have a fast machine. They do
their best to emulate a full virtual machine, but I'm not sure how much
support the virtual video card has for 3D, Direct X, etc. (I mainly use
VMWare for running OpenBSD, FreeBSD, etc as a build environment; and
occassionally Windows to run a real copy of Microsoft Office for those
stubborn documents.) Generally "server" and "office" type programs
cooperate better than bleeding edge games would.

It's still on my todo list and getting closer to the top. Sorry for the
delay.
