Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Did you enable hardware acceleration?
You need VMWare Tools installed too.

Have you thought about using Wineskin or Crossover Games for the gaming?

Steam is available for the Mac as well, but I would imagine you would need to repurchase your games. Portal is pretty good on the Mac.

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New Re: Did you enable hardware acceleration?
Yes, I enabled all the accelerations I could find, and did also install VMWare Tools. No help.

We did download Steam, and of the 10 games that we have purchased on his Steam account, 2 were available on OSX. Repurchasing was not required; games on his account were there and available no matter which OS we logged in from. Just the Windows-only games (like Call of Duty) were thoroughly unacceptable for actual playing. When you're playing an FPS, frame-rate matters...And when you can't aim your weapon because you're only getting 8 FPS or whatever, that makes the game unplayable. Which makes it all a moot point.
