I REALLY wouldn't recommend shutting down all your security just to play a
game, especially if you are online for any reason. I've known people to be
hacked by other players while in multi-player games. If you have a
broadband connection or just happened to be dialed into the internet, you
can still get hacked while playing a game.
If you're willing to open up your PC to all manners of attack just to play
games, you can do that; BUT I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT!
