I would imagine that varies game to game, seen a few where textures are loaded dynamically from the hard drive to avoid having loading screens when changing areas. A SSD should cause a noticeable increase in performance in such games.

link please? because i'm curious.

Sims 3 comes to mind, not sure if it's been documented anywhere though, but the game doesn't have loading screens, and loads textures as they're needed, which when moving quickly from one area to another can cause the screen to blur up and the framerate to drop on a slow hard drive.
