Recommend me some MAC games please

edit: changed the title to recommending me some games, pref on steam but will consider physical copies (if any). Braid has been recommended so far, any other games worth a punt?

Go on steam and click the little mac icon...

Is this really a real question? Store splits them up, shiiiiiiiiiii!

Sorry but to a gamer it seems simple, have fun playing on your gimp mobile

Thanks for the amazingly patronising post. I've got a desktop PC with a better spec than yours for pure gaming but I'm not asking about that, I'm simply asking for a list of mac games and I didn't know the store split it in two...

Saddle up that horse mate before you have an accident.
 
LOL i was going to say that but most of the ones listed are from Valve.

Its fairly new so i assume they will update games when they can

Aye

Just having a browse through them now and I'm quite suprised by a few of them. Killing floor uses the UT3 engine iirc but I don't see any of the other UT3 engine games in the list at the moment.

Basically I'm looking at what I can play on my macbook pro (i7, 4gb ram, gt330) when I'm away from home. Looks like I'll have to amuse myself with killing floor, torchlight and day of defeat source for now!
 
Friend of mine has been waiting for L4D/L4D2 to show up on Mac, Valve sure are taking their time about it.

Thanks for acting like a tool.

@OP There's a ton of top indie games that are Mac compatible. In fact, the PvZ update came out within the last fortnight. :)

Yeah I was expecting these to also be on the list as I own both for windows but just figured they wasn't out yet.

As for the indie titles, I'll have to look into them properly and check metacritic. That "braid" game has a very impressive metacritic score so might give that a whirl at some point.

Obvious troll is obvious btw, with his amazingly awesome community supporting attitude and all :)
 
Braid does my head in. Its a great game but I just suck at it. I do love the enemies in it though (those round things with the weird faces) they always crack me up.

TBH I dont really see mac as a big gamer platform, its nice to see that steam are supporting games like plants vs zombies (awesome game!). I didn't get my mac for gaming, thats what overclocked pc's are for :)

I'll do abit of reading on this braid game and probably buy it later on. I didn't buy my mac for gaming, its just something to take the boredom out of the hours between classes when you just want a quick 15 mins blast on something without having to go home to do it (when on campus obviously!).

I spent over a month trying to find a reliable laptop which had 8hours + battery life on browsing/general work with wireless enabled plus a good cpu and graphics card for folding style programs which I need to use to get some molecule info for detailed write-ups etc. To cut a long story short, it was basically an i5/i7 macbook pro vs a sony z series, after trawling the internet for benchmarks the i7 macbook was faster in all the tests apart from the harddrive one and had superior battery life so thats what I settled on.

That's fair enough then. Plants vs zombies is definitely good for taking your boredom away between classes. I have it on iPod touch too, its just really addictive.

Apple do make very nice laptops, which is why I bought my 13" macbook pro last week. The battery life is phenomenal. I can literally be unplugged all day. The i7 Mac pro was a good choice, they have miles better customer service and aftersales help then sony (sony's aftersales service sucks!). You said you need to use folding programs for molecular info, what course are you on if you don't mind me asking? I'm a Biochem grad myself.

Doing biomedical science masters and I've got myself involved in some immunology research at my uni. The battery life and performance combined makes a laptop cost a fortune lol. Sadly with most laptops you get one or the other which is amazingly annoying. One of my lecturers is sorting me out with some useful software for my mbp and then showing me how to use them all which is nice of him!

Basically the battery lasting all day is what I need badly at the moment as finding a wall socket in a quiet spot at my uni is like trying to find a none repeated program on DAVE.
