| Top Games for OS X?
Hello there, I just bought an brand new aluminum 24" iMac... Was having a hard time finding a list of games which are made for OS X. Apple's web site seems to only advertise shareware games. And http://www.ign.com doesn't mention OS X! Question(s): (1) What are the *BEST* FPS games available for OS X? (2) What are the *BEST* RPG games available on OS X? (3) What is the *BEST* joystick / gamepad available for OS X? (4) Is there a popular web site for gamers dedicated to OS X games? Many, many thanks!

Football Manager 2007 is one of my favourites, also eagerly awaiting some big game releases on the Mac. Aside from the big ones from EA there's going to be a new Starcraft, Unreal Tournament 3 and Gears of War.

| http://www.insidemacgames.com http://www.macgamefiles.com These are sites that are dedicated to Mac gaming. It's no surprise that you don't come across any mention of Mac games on IGN. They're too busy covering Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii news to really bother about the Mac. I find that their PC coverage is pretty lacking these days too compared to their console news. |

I found 36 titles when I searched "games" at the online Apple store: www.apple.com/store Also try www.macmall.com www.zones.com www.macconnection.com If you have an Apple Store near you, check it out. They have lots of software. And if you have a CompUSA near you, stop by for instant gratification. But watch out, CompUSA is sleazy. Doug

Get battlefield 2142 when it comes out for mac - its an amazing game, online though rather than single player. Great squad-based play - let me know if you do as i know some good servers. Also, with one of those machines for gaming consider getting bootcamp and windows. Much as a i love my mac - for gaming it still lags some way behind PCs on the big blockbuster games (macs are great for small games though).
