If so, what?

and how's the performance?

I'd like to run some older games I own (Commandos 3 Berlin etc) as I run Windows XP, but I'm interested in how it'll handle newer titles too?

Guild Wars gets between 5 and 10 FPS. [I am playing it in WINE though, so ...]
Basically, don't expect too much.

Ford Racing 3, works great but not a very demanding game.

Now im playing monster hunter portable 2g with my psp through the usb port and with a ps3 sixasix control on my bluetooth.

As long as the game doesn't require specs beyond what the Mini provides, as with any PC game and setup, you should do just fine... I dug out my old copy of Revolt, set up the controls just right so I can hold it like a gameboy and it totally helps pass the time waiting for my turn to donate plasma.

I have the Mac version of Braid installed, but haven't tried it yet.

Quake 3 and Plants VS Zombies along with several console emulators.

Morrowind!

It runs fine, not 100% smooth but very playable, to me.

Dude, I'd love to run a NES or SEGA emultor (N64 could be sweet too) and keep everything on my external HD. Does anyone know of a good one that works with OSX?
