I totally agree with you on that DWells55. I prefer X for it's simplicity and beauty and it does everything I need to do (including games now =)).

It would be nice if could all share your same perspective on the Gaming Consoles as well. But the Inner Fanboy in all of us probably won't let us do that! lol!

Enjoyed your response, it was great.

I love you Dwells. Finally, a voice of reason among the gibbering idiots.

Dwells... you... I... wow. Nicely put!

I did not buy my Mac for gaming, I buy consoles (and prefer them) for that. Being able to play games is a great bonus though. If only every company was like Blizzard.

Everyone, use Linux, so the game developers will start loving us, the virus free, open source, not locking you in with everything we sell, mac and windows alternative.

The rest of us have real work to do in the real world where Linux will remain in the data centers.

So, yeah... Cider.

In other words, these are Windows games using the Windows API on top of a Windows compatibility layer running under OSX...

And this is good for Mac gamers how exactly? The better not be charging any more for these copies that the original Windows versions...

Honestly. Does anyone give a rats ass about playing videogames on a mac? let alone a bunch of already released games from EA?

The only thing that worries me, is the fact that having two computer OS's competing amongst themselves could further weaken an already weak (compared to console games) PC gaming base. It could be good though, as further competition could also lead to a lot more innovation.

Goes to show how little the Mac is suited to playing games if in official material they aren't playing the games fullscreen. Why would you do that?

I had to add new comments since for some reson I couldn't reply to Poisoned Al's post of,

"@jonny quest: Wow, shows what you know. Ever since XP the blue screen only appers when the PC is seriously f**ked with a hardware problem. Not that it matters because you're going to keep lying to yourself the Macs never crash despite using slandered equipment."

Wow, want to read my post again? Maybe if you read it real slow and out loud you'll be able to comprehend the actual meaning of what I said.

In this case, the message that must have been too complex for you to understand was that Dan's quip about the inability to right click was as outdated and obsolete as any reference to Blue screening all the time in windows.

Oh and so you know, you missed your mark at the end there too. I have a PC.

Oh, an not forgetting those nice little ones floating around on msn "hey, is this you in a picture? lolomg.EXE" learn your file extensions, THEN, you'll be safe....idiots.
