MAC gaming - Steam
One of the main reasons I never got a (proper) mac is because of the lack of games I like to play.
Now I've had problem with steam like everyone else I'm sure. But the addition to the mac does seem like a step forward.
Anyway mac users are getting steam on the 12th May.

Re: MAC gaming - Steam
Not a lot to start with I'm sure, but it does have scope

Only has scope if developers make games for the Mac surely? I know a few developers that out-and-out refuse to develop for the Mac...

Yes. But if no one bothers to make a start then it won't happen at all, so as I said - it has scope.
But until I can get my fps on a mac it won't do me any good.

I believe spore was (Which I lent to my friend who has one). And I /think/ call of duty world at war.
I only have a hackintosh but would certainly consider a switch.
