You can't really do that. Qemu (used in Xen HVM domains) only provides basic
2D display adapter, so it's not really suitable for gaming.
If you want to experiment with unstable/development code, you could try VT-d
to passthrough a graphics adapter (the whole device) to HVM guest.
I think there are also some graphics drivers that operate through the
network, ie. communicate with dom0 graphics hardware, but I don't have any
links to those.
Xen is mostly a server virtualization software/solution nowadays..
