I tried to launch 3D game on my VirtualBox's WindowsXP (hosted on Debian wheezy x64)
When i am trying to launch this game than virtual mashinie is crashing:
Not that surpising. Virtualbox is simply not made to run 3D games in the guest, at best you will be able to run some very old games and even those with glitches and bad performance. You will get better performance and support from the VMware solutions, but don't expect too much.
If you want to run games you will have to run them on a physical machine or wait until Virtualbox supports PCI passthrough completely (and even then you likely will need a dedicated videocard for the VM.
