Half-Life 2 on Intel Macs

This sounds great, i'm very tempted to try this out.

Jason:
WoW does run better in XP on the MBP, but even in OS X it beats my desktop's preformance. Also Virtue makes it easy to game and do other stuff at the same time.

Of course I have an obsession with collecting PCs and other computers so when I tried it it was more to see if I could finally play games somewhere other than my desk. The answer: yes, yes I can. It squarely beats the pants off the old laptop's radeon 7000, heck, even with the limitations and tricks needed to run in crossover it probably still beats it.

I just found this amazing site full of old Apple II-era games:

...only problem is that it runs on IE6 on WINDOWS!?!! (How screwy is that??)

However, if you download the crossover beta it works with IE6 just fine. Anyone remember Oregon Trail? How about Wizardry??

This was actually the final test in my complete obsession with getting rid of my PC's. I installed Bootcamp just to put half-life 2 on it. It runs better than it does on my "gaming" pc. It's amazing. World of Warcraft runs great on the OSX side, haven't tried it on the Windows side. But the MacBook Pro can totally be a gaming computer.

STOP RUNNING THE GM AD WITH THE JUMPING GIRL!

I haven't actually tried this solution, but most others along these lines end up being more time-consuming than simply rebooting into Windows. You would, after all, have to close out all of your applications for optimal performance anyway. And booting into OS X from XP is much quicker than booting from OS X to XP. On my new Intel Mac it takes under 15 seconds to start OS X.

with my recent 120GB harddrive upgrade, I am looking forward to dumping a few spare gigs to something like this. I can't wait to try it out and give my 2GB of dual-channel ram a run for its money on my macbook.

I just want them to fix all the bugs with Counter-Strike 1.6 and Day of Defeat in Steam :/

You can also intals Windows with Bootcamp on your Mac Intel and plys the PC version...

O it looks like the gaming industry might be looking more hopeful on coming over the the mac. It is about time the PC has had the majority of the gaming industry market shar, why can the mac not have a good chunk of this. Come on games developers and get on the macs!

I dont actually own a mac yet as i do alot of gaming on the old PC but i would love a mac.
