You'd have to play it in boot camp (windows on mac) unless you tried some **** wine/cider port with graphics issues etc It would be exactly the same as running it on a windows PC with the same specs, no advantages what so ever.

If you are just gonna be using the mac for gaming I'd suggest otherwise, I myself use mac for music production (logic I use), that as well as graphical design is where the benefits of using mac OS X comes in over windows.

It's not as easy as getting some program and playing it as you would in windows unfortunately, there is crossover games but my experience of using that is a bad one. Lots and lots of graphical issues doesn't render the characters or objects correctly and all you see is squiggly lines like a disco about the place , same sort of thing also under wine osx. Cider offers the best, there's a cider port of Crysis 2 floating around with only a small amount of graphical issues.

One small problem with all these, you can't legitimately activate or update especially to the latest dx11 version (and of course dx11 won't probably work ported). Meaning no online play even if you do get around it.
