The simple answer is .. don't..

The reason citrix and TS work so well is due to the ICA compression. However the drawback is that due to .bmp and the such not compressing well, any games played would be incredibly slow.. Trust me, Ive tried..

Microsoft specifically states that Terminal Services can not handle multimedia intensive applications. That would include games. You will probably be able to get by with 2d games, but anything that runs in 3D is out of the question.

Do what I do on the network and create DFS links to the games on the server. It works pretty well for all but the most hardware intensive of games. Make sure you use roaming user profiles located on the server also.

You will still need a decent video card and ram on the client however.
