If you're downloading your games from someplace like Steam you don't need to worry about viruses or anything like that. If you're torrenting the games, I'd be more concerned about your ISP monitoring your network traffic than getting a virus. Virtual machines really come into play when you're going to be testing something and you don't want to hose your whole computer, or if you playing with a different OS like Ubuntu or Mint. For either of those situations VMWare is the way to go. Unless you want something...

VMWare is always solid. http://www.vmware.com/products/player/
But why do you want to run your games in a virtual machine at all? Your performance isn't ever going to be as good.
