Is it safe to run a game as administrator?

The short answer is, no it is not safe. If the developer had malicious intent, or the software package was compromised without his knowledge, the attacker gets keys to the castle. If other malicious software gains access to this application, it can use escalated privilege to cause harm to your system/data.
