    3/ Deus Ex II - heck yeah!, the original was awesome!





    4/ Command & Conquer series - why the heck havent they released any but the original for the mac? it was a great game! my classmate just got the new 3d one and says its pretty cool. Somthing makes me think none of them will ever make it to the mac...





    On a side note, although I know its already on its way, WC3: TFT looks pretty sweet. Cant wait till it comes out!

    Games I would love to see ported In no particular order:



    Star Wars Galaxies (this could happen depending on EQ sales)

    Battlefield 1942 (EA will never port it)

    Half Life (with mods) (Sierra will never port it again)

    World of Warcraft (this could definitely happen)

    Deus Ex 2 (would be excellent)

    Halo 2 (we can dream, right?)

    GTA Vice City (wouldn't hurt)

    I have simply given up on waiting for Mac game releases and decided to build my own "hobby" box for PC games (even if they were released on the Mac, the performance still sucks because of X86 engine optimizations). This way I have a Mac laptop as my regular computer, and a super-fast (yet stationary, hot, and maybe a little noisy) PC for playing games on, and maybe doing the occasional surfing.



    Considering my 800MHz 15" PBG4 cost about US$3800 (after tax, shipping, and everything), it's almost amusing that I can build a top-of-the-line PC for about a quarter of that.

    Blizzard has hinted at this game several times. Dont worry!



    Personally I would really like Homeworld, or at least Homeworld 2...

    Counter Strike? What i will never understand is why people want that crappy game ported or even why pc counterparts love it. :confused: I have played it many times and i think its decent but not good enough to play more then a few minutes. Now Deus Ex 2 would be much different... Hell Yes! <img src="graemlins/cancer.gif" border="0" alt="[cancer]" />

    1.arx fatalis

    2.theif series as mentioned above



    make the cd's hybrid



    actually i do all my gaming on a pc on win2k

    it would be nice to have osx/linux ports

    apple needs to define a std api much like

    directx.....right now some games (like mohaa)

    are a complete nightmare on a powerbook with a

    mouse plugged in (osx's mouse accleration makes

    it unplayable with no way to disable unlike win2k)



    the other thing i noticed is vendors are very

    slow to update their drivers (eg logitech)

    so maybe apple needs to be a little more involved

    in this much like m$ does with their ddk's

    It's really too bad that EA has said they won't be supporting the Mac again.

    I hate to say it, but so did I. And it was cheap. Will I switch over, hell no. But I just got sick of not having the diversity of choices, and having a game come out the same time it's sequel does for the PC (NOLF and many more). While I don't play that many games, when I do play I want the best experience, and right now that is just not the Mac (although the Mac is the best experience for just about everything else). The cool thing, it is a dual boot system so I can check out Linux at the same time.



    One last thing, building a PC is also a good reminder of why you love the Mac in the first place. I recently sent this short email to my friend who helped me build the damn thing.



    motherboard ... $250

    processor ........ $300

    graphics card ... $400

    waking up at 3am on my friend's couch to the words "Fu%!ing Windows Drivers"...

    2) Battlefield 1942

    3) GTA III and VIce City

    And other EA Sports titles with full support from EA (ie. at least mention the Mac versions on their site).
