Just as Kah Wee and I were talking about the lack of 3D support in Parallels yesterday, looks like the open source alternative, Virtual Box, has outdone the commercial counterpart in this area.

VirtualBox 3 brings 3D graphics support

It also has gained experimental support for Direct3D 8 and 9 on Windows. These advancements could make VirtualBox a viable solution for 3D gaming.
