    One problem for the mac games is that you cant go on servers for windows versions. So if you have a friend that plays Halo on PC then i odnt htink you can get on the same Designated server

    only thing you need to do is install a copy of windows on another partition so you can actually run them.


    or try your luck with virtualization.

    humm surprised all those games are actually out under OSX...

    still would probably be smoother under windows as drivers are ---- on OSX(atleast if it's anything like in linux)

    I would liek to be wrong on this though... I WANT A MASS EXODUS AWAY FROM WINDOWS... I also want OSX to be available as a standaloen retail. I would totally dual boot if it were.
