 |
i think the main reason why there is so few games for the mac platform is that it has been mainly used over the past 20yrs as a work horse for the publishing industry. since the off macs were used becasue of their fantastic capabilities in DTP and Design and video production. I remeber being blown away by a designer friend of mine who showed me the cloning tool on Photoshop 2.5...lol yeah it did not just start at CS 
anyways becasue the majority of folk who have been die hard mac users have their macs for these reasons...or just to have it stood on the tables looking all cool and stylish
i have both pc and mac although being a die hard Pc user sine windows 3.1 wg i find the mac filing system a little weird so i just use it for video production
I have always beleived that the best and most affordable way to enjoy games is on the dedicated machines build for nothing else than to - play games...least you dont have to worry about upgrading graphics cards and memory to the tune of a few £100 every few months just to play a £30 game.!

I'm a die-hard Mac user, and I am an artist and writer, but the real reason I is because it does what I want it to without driving me crazy, like Windows does when I am forced to use it. Also, it has been much less invasive than Windows, up to now, although with OS X 10.4 --> I am getting somewhat disillusioned with the new Mac OS.

so what games would you want available for Mac? specifically. :3 personally, i think at least MMOs should be available for Macs. or anything that you can play multiplayer. it just seems a little silly to make something multiplayer and then seclude Mac users.
...of course, this might overflow frustration from me being irked that i can't play multiplayer games on my PC with people on Xbox 360s.

AH WELL..... according to Mr Gates and his team the next big thing going down with the new "Windows Live" set up is just that...you will be able to play cross PC>360 games. I think from what i remember is that all the new games titled "Games For Windows" with similar packaging to the XBOX360 games will be the games that work.
I am not sure if its not already happening but i think LOTR & Halo 2 are already cross platform, or atleast have the "live" achievements in place - but dont quote me....but take a look here http://global.gamesforwindows.com/en-GB/live/aboutLive.aspx
