is it possible to use a DL DVD RW as a harddrive, like, install games to it and programs to it and run it from that?

It's perfectly feasable to run games from a DVD.
However, the only way you could write to it, (Eg: to store changed configuration data), would be in a multi-session. As far as I can remember, this makes the previous session unavailable to windows. (But still on the CD).
(Can't remember if this applies to UDF formatted disks).

You could however, tell the program to save any changable data on the hard-disk.
