Some of these games are over a year old, but it's nice to see they finally made it to the Mac. Looking forward to Cider, and whatever Apple has in store for Leopard.

Hopefully, Aspyr, MacSoft, and MacPlay will be irrelevant once we can play Windows games on the Mac without having to dual boot. I have nothing against those companies, but since Macs and PCs have the same guts now and can both run Mac OS and Windows, what's the point of having separate development efforts for a game?

I think this is a good news for all Mac-owners.
Glad to see Civilization IV and AOE in this list.

As a former mac user, i can say that any Mac user's best bet this christmas for games is:

A) An Xbox 360
B) A Wii

Direct X is Windows (and Xbox 360) only; so efforts need to be made to adapt games to a different API.

Mac+gamers = ROFLMAO

Also, darko82 just so you know a lot of Windows games use DirectX which is not available for the Mac as far as I know. So either you're going to have to dual boot still or else game companies will have to continue seperate development efforts so that it will run on a Mac. Hardware isn't always the only thing that prevents games from running on a system.

Unfortunately none of the quake4 mods work unless they're server side. That was a huge disappointment for me. =/

Civ4 is good news, but unless you're running on intel it's still a little to slow for my tastes. It's a dog on my dual 2.5 G5.

Like Mac Guy said, fortunately I have a 360 and DS.

That's where Transgaming's Cider comes in, guys.

From that list at least Quake IV, Civ IV and CoD 2 have been out for a long time now for Mac. And I'm a "Mac gamer". I play WoW.

Nobody said these are all new games, Miharu. But each one came out in 2006 (with the exception of Burning Crusade).

Sims Nightlife? We've already had two expansions since that one--Open for Business and Pets for Mac. Sheesh.

No need to flame just because developers don't make a lot of Mac games. If you use Windows and think you're superior, go ahead. I've got a MacBook Pro which I use for games in both WIndows and OS X, as well as an Xbox 360 and a Wii.

Do any of the games listed above work with Logitech's (or any brand) USB game controllers?

Yeah, I've got a Mac and I do have a couple of games for it, but I had to get a Windows machine so I wouldn't be wasting time waiting for the Mac release.

I have to second the recommendation of an XBox 360 for any Mac gamers this Christmas.

Hmm...

Kill Monty and Jets N' Guns should be on that list.

I mean, both games have hundreds of heads exploding! Who doesn't want that?

I find it so funny that as soon as ANY post about Macs are made on ANY web page, the first few responses are from windows users making fun of Mac users. But, it must be the MAC envy those windows users have to spend time trolling the Mac forums.

Game on Mac.

Macbook Pro with windows. Best of both worlds, all the viruses from one.

Bejeweled 2 is the only Mac game you need.

I plan on getting a Mac early next year. I think I may consider snagging AOE 3 and Civilization 4 to go along with it.
