No 3D games etc don't work through virtualization because the 3D is not done within the Operating System but by to direct calls to the 3D card. If you can configure your game / card to work in "software mode" you usually get to see the 3D but it's non-accelerated and not all programs have this option.

Doing this in a virtual pc is nearly impossible. You'll have better luck with wine or crossover (https://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover-mac/).

But don't expect miracles, Need For Speed Undercover does works in Crossover Linux, but the speed is still low (despite low resolution and low settings) and there are some serious distortions visible. TrackMania Nations Forever on the other hand works flawless, but Far Cry 2 doesn't even want to start.
