hmmm?

It's not only funny that there are people who buy macs, but then they wait and wait for games they love to be released on them. The problem is that even though mac lovers are lied to over and over and told their macs are faster, they aren't. .. Well, unless you compare to lower end PC's, then ok. But I had to spend a bit to get a nice PC with good graphics card that gives a great, yes great, GTA 4 experience. i7 processor with good nvidia. I didn't need to, but I over clocked to 4ghz. It cost me about $730. But try that on a mac and it won't happen unless you spend oodles. And then the hardware still isn't really as good of a setup as a high end PC. Even if you spend more than double the cash, $1600!, you end up with a lousy core2duo cpu from apple.

And Yes, the cpu, if weak enough results in slower game play. You get a pretty, white, thinner mac case. But that doesn't really allow for putting in bigger hardware from nvida, or even a heat sink etc.. So in the end most mac users just end up with sub par performance. To even get into the i7 realm, you'd have to spend $2000. And you guessed it, my computer is still quit a bit faster than the $2000 imac in games, and also in rendering video. It's actually faster than a $2500 mac pro. (a clown will show up and say it's not true, but I tested all of this). And I already showed a friend of mine a hackintoshed osx running that beat his imac pretty badly. He was sick, but laughed because it was funny and thought it was cool. That said, I prefer windows 7... But seriously, all this time and money spent to get a mac because it's supposed to be that superior, yet it really isn't. And I've had no problems with anything in windows 7. I mean, I could see it if I were having these terrible problems. Problems so bad, I'd have to go blow 2 grand. But I'm not. I can load in adobe and vegas etc and finish video projects quicker than my friend as well. Time to wake up??

I was playing the cider port (i own the original) of san andreas on my mbp this very evening. how weird to see this after that. I can't believe it's taken so long for this to come out officially. Bittorrent folks... ;-)

Download it - (It's available now guys.. the article is written incorrectly..)

Funs perfect. Seriously. I have a Macbook Pro 2.66 Intel C2D w/ 4GB of RAM.. and it's perfect.

Still trying to figure out how to use my xbox controller for it though..

cheers!

I've had nothing but problems with Transgaming's port of Dragon Age for the Mac. The game has inconsistent graphic performance; requires a reinstall (!!) after every OS update; crashes randomly; has too many sound dropouts. I will never buy another Transgaming port. (Thank goodness I bought DA when it was on sale.)

Could somebody tell if a late 2008 Mac Mini (GPU: Intel GMA950) is able to run GTA SA properly (or even GTA 3)? I also own an early 2009 MBP which is more powerful but gaming is much better at a desktop computer...

I'll buy it. All of them. I already have GTA3 on PS2, PC, Xbox and soon Mac. Just a classic game, so is Vice City. San Andreas not so much, but it's still great. Haven't bought any games (or for that matter, played any games) for my Mac yet, and I made the switch 4 years ago.

I think "mature" isn't quite the word to describe these games. :P

Sadly, it seems owning the Windows version doesn't net you the Mac version. And I'm not really keen on buying San Andreas for the 4th time. (PS2 when it came out, Windows as I had a PC at the time and PC GTA > PS2 GTA, then Xbox version after I got a Mac and no longer had a PS2).
