I play Peggle. That's about it.

For everything else, I have a Vista partition (that's unfortunately not working so hot right now). If Valve ported Steam to Mac (yeah right), then there would be no need for Windows.

Crysis on Very High via boot camp. Frame rate never drops below 30. Oh how i love the number 8.

(Actually make that 4, Windows was stuck in a 32bit stone-age with XP.)

Talk about a cock-slap, Mr. Gates.

Isn't Halo:CE for the mac too?
And I know you can at least run a dedicated server for Half Life 2 Deathmatch, so I'm guessing you can play the game.

The hilarious Zero Punctuation video review not withstanding, EVE Online plays terrific on an intel-based iMac or MBP. So much so that I'm working to start a new cult. I call it Macs in EVE.

I'm on Lineage, old MMO :P but that is really as far as mac gaming goes for me other than flash games. I had warcraft 3 and Starcraft, but I had to wipe them :(

Not really, as you still have to have Windows installed and last time I checked Microsoft primarily sell software.

I'm not sure where people got the crazy notion that quoting someone without adding to the discussion constitutes a post...

It's either going to be standard BB code or regular HTML code. I'll leave you to find the forum help and basic training for it though.

I play a fair bit of Jedi academy on my MacBook. When I'm not working of course...

Hey, if you think that Mac gaming lacks games, try Linux gaming for size. You have Nethack, some things by id Software, and that's about it, without using emulation or simulation.

I had three months of exclusive use of Linux courtesy of the utter failure of Windows Me. Unfortunately, it was a dated form of SUSE Linux and didn't recognise my network adapter, so no internet and no possibility of downloading a newer form of it so that I could at least keep on the bleeding edge while I waited to obtain some form of Windows to rebuild my system.

Oh well, at least I discovered Beneath a Steel Sky and learned some fundamental things about the operating system that would help me decide once and for all that I thought that Windows was utter bilge.
