+1 on all.

Or just build a small windows box for games and not burden the mac with uneccessary tasks.

Also worth bookmarking: http://www.apple.com/games/ - I still can't understand why Apple make this section of their site so tucked away and hidden!

(1) What are the *BEST* FPS games available for OS X?
Unreal Tournament is still my favourite. Quake and Doom series are great too.

(2) What are the *BEST* RPG games available on OS X?
I don't play them much these days, but World of Warcraft is pretty much dominating in the MMORPG arena at the moment. There are plenty of others to look at though.

A great old-school online rpg is found here:
Wyvern

You should stay away from playing an archer or mage though, unless you have a keypad plugged in.
Edit: Download the pure java/linux version, NOT the mac version. It will work.
