Call of Duty (1 or 2), Wolfenstein Enemy Territory (free).

I've always found the Unreal Tournament series to be a lot of fun on both platforms, too. Especially the original one with the Game Of The Year add-ons.

You could also check out the Quake series. Quake 3 Arena should run very well on any Mac that is post 2001.

Qion will become famous soon enough
If you have an Intel-based Mac, you could just boot into Windows and play whatever you want to. It's a major reason I'm getting a MacBook; I kind of want to see what the gaming scene is all about. Youtube has some fairly convincing videos of MacBooks (not pro) running Half Life 2, Halo, and some other games.
