Games can be played on a Mac?

I thought Macs were made for people who want to do everything with just one application?

Maybe he's using Windows on his mac via bootcamp or fusion. There aren't many good games for macs and they don't have DirectX so your limited to openGL games. But then again if your spending time in bootcamp/fusion why spend the premium buying a mac in the first place when a PC has access to a lot more software applications and games and costs less.

I play Starcraft. It has just about the best gaming graphics you can find for the Mac these days, at least until Starcraft II comes out .

I just noticed a Mac version of Need for Speed Carbon, which has pretty nice graphics, 2006 quality

on the right here is a full list of games that work on Mac, some need patches and some only work on the intel ones and, you know, it's not a horrible selection. Guitar Hero III and Aerosmith that's kinda cool, though you've gotta have the intel ones. Call of Duty 2 and 4, again gotta have an intel for that last one.
