Well, you can search this index for products made for Mac...

http://guide.apple.com/index.lasso

But really, the easy thing is to just look on the side of the box for the word "Mac," with it's blue smiley face logo (It's the icon all the way to the left in your Dock).

Although most any USB mouse will work just fine with your Mac.... I prefer my Kensington mouse.... it was cheap, looks good next to my aluminium PowerBook, and has Mac-centric software that lets me use fancy settings like programming both-click and whatnot....

You can also look for the circle with an X in it, this means it is playable for Mac OS X. It is usually shown next to the Windows Icon if the game is OS X compatible.

but to directly answer your question, no.
"Most" new games will not work with the Mac.

Check each game before you buy, better safe than pissed off.
