You have to get Boot camp, which you can download on the Mac website. The only thing is that it just enables you to put Microsoft Windows on your MBP, it doesn't put it on there. You still need a disk with Windows XP OS on it and you'll have to install it yourself. If you have a PC with XP on it, just find it's backup CD. Most PCs come with a re-installation CD of Windows XP (you know, the ones that say "Do not use on any other Computers other than your Dell/HP"). You should be able to install it on your Mac. But it is "illegal".

in the days when macintosh didnt support msn, I used a program called Virtual PC. see if thats still available.
id probably say that to get the best gaming experience from it though would to jus keep playin it on a pc.
at the end of the day. Macs were not created to play pc games.

Yes you can, if they are not compatible with mac, you can install a few different things in order to install windows on your computer....you can get bootcamp (but apple does not give technical support for it), or you can get parallel for mac, which enables you to switch from the Mac operating system to the Windows operating system with just one key.
here are the links to both programs
BootCamp: http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
Parallel: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/6714002/wo/4i7Itwf6Y5U82ZiJQyoVSHbN4LP/1.0.21.1.0.8.25.7.11.8.3
