Second Life

[Maduro]

Second Life runs well on my old Mac Powerbook G4, but so far that's the only game that I've played on my Mac.

Also, as I said in the linux forum... Afterworld will eventually be compiled to run on Mac since it was created using the Torque engine which is platform-independent.

Mac need to become better with games. I have a macbook pro but i want to put windows on it because there are better programs for windows then mac.

Really hope they'll do it . For now AW and EU are the 2 only reasons for me to have a bootcamp partition on my mac, and if AW will get a native OS X version and EU won't (and it won't for sure, since it's engine can't be ported) then it might be not a good day for my EU installation .

No.. Mac dosnt need to become better with games, Games need to become better with mac... Mac is a fine system.. but games today are not.

A truer statement I have never seen.
Games Developers need to realise that while the Mac may not be the largest brand, most of its users do want to play games, with out resorting to emulation (I mean "Of Windows", not the illegal kind, though that does happen) and other things

The reason not many Mac games are being made are because of the market share it has, if the user base increases and the games being made for Mac start to make good profits then more developers would jump in.

And as a result of a larger market share, a lot more viruses would be written for Mac. I'm guessing most Mac users would prefer things as they are now.

That's partially true, but Mac OS is a little hard to breach than Windows. It is better than Windows if and only if it would have more better applications and games.

Actually, that's not true - http://blogs.computerworld.com/mac_h...as_windows_pcs .
