MFC has nothing to do with games. MFC helps you work with windows and controls. Unless you mean to use it for your in-game GUI. If you do, I don''t have a clue about that.

MFC may be useful when creating a game editor but personally I see litte point in using it for window management for a game. The Win32 API code you need for setting up a GL, DX or whatever window is pretty simple, and there''s not that much of it.

MFC is good for a data intensive game like an RPG but only as the editor. Unless you''re running a low-rent sports game-stats simulator like a league simulator, most of the work will need to be done graphically and MFC is more for data.
