The main problem you have is not that you are on a mac but only using the trackpad means any sort of action games are out of the question. I loving Civ 5 at the moment, so I would recommend that.
I recommend Octodad!
Using the trackpad makes it almost impossible but it is great fun.Also, Minecraft.

Metascore might not have the best of reputations but this is a fairly decent place to start:

Also, check out the RPS advent calendars of the last few years (Here's 2013 (though not all will be available on the unibutton system)) as they tend to spotlight some great gems from throughout the year.

There is someone in the PC Games give-away thread who is looking to offload a Bioshock 2 key for steam. If your interested?
Are you sure you don't want to try alternatives to gaming?

I hear thst Newgrounds have got some decent games nowdays.
I recommend Octodad!
Also, Minecraft.
Watching a mate try octodad on a trackpad after a few too many beers has to be one of the funniest experiences of my life.
) and looking for some good laptop games too, I've bootcamped so I have Hotline Miami, Stick it to the Man! and Red Alert 3 to play through. Will be watching this thread closely!

You can also get Xbox 360 controller drivers for the Mac that make the game treat it as if you were playing the Windows/ Xbox 360 version of the game.
What I mean by that is, it maps the correct controls per game for you
And it's really easy to set up and use NB: I have a 2013 MacBook Air and it can run Arkham City no problems as well as the others I mentioned.

Maybe its time for a Mac Gaming section with the push into gaming now?
