Defcon
Braid
World of Goo
Sims 3

And I’m looking forward to:

Starcraft 2
Diablo 3

If it wasn’t for Blizzard Apple gaming would be dead in the water.

A whole thread of what may have been interesting discussion on good mac games ruined once more by the spelling and grammar Nazis.

I’ve also read Atlas Shrugged but it didn’t have the same affect on me.

I simply mis-spelt her name. Sorry, Bryan, I’ll take more care in the future. :)

A typo would be Rrand. I messed up on the spelling of her name. The irony: I was looking at Wiki to check the spelling of her LAST name and spaced on the first.

Holding up BioShock as an example of how Mac gaming isn’t so sad is a bit iffy… it came out over two years ago. Unfortunately this is still the current state of Mac gaming: spotty support, “please port to Mac” petitions, and late releases.

Porting something months/years later just perpetuates the myth that there’s no market for Mac games. By the time something like BioShock is released on OS X, everyone has already played it on their console or a PC.
