You bought a Mac to look cool not to play games.

Now, how about some useful information.

Any FPS that you can buy for any window's PC, you should be able to get for any Mac PC.

BROffshoreTigerFan you should stick to the rant cause you have no idea what you are talking about. Don't make shite up. YOU CAN'T "play any game on Mac you can on PC" To the OP I'll help you out. Install a app called Boot Camp. It will allow you to play windows games.

Silly.

I have bootcamp. I have parallels. ETC.
I am hoping to find something cool that I can run natively. I was looking at the star wars jedi academy and whatever else last night. There is too much storyline for me there though. I want to be able to just fire the game up and kill some AI enemies and then be on with my day.

That's why I loved tactical ops.

Other than that, I would like to do more strategy/planning/shooter for games like rainbow six vegas. etc.

Thanks for some info, though.

Already built into OSX no need to install it.

Also Herro you can check out Steam and see if it has any games you want.

Steam is available for the Mac. A good bet would be to download and install Steam, and see what FPS are available there. TF2/Portal/HL2 are all there.

Umm, maybe you should recheck where I post, and what I posted. Seems you have an issue with reading comprehension.

What I said was:

I never said you can play any PC game on a mac PC.

I'll clear it up for you JPH77.

When you buy a computer game, it either comes for Windows, or for Mac. If you find the FPS that you want, and it says "For Mac", then you can play that game on a mac. If it says "For Windows", well, then you can only play that game on Windows computers.

Here's an example:

MW2 for Mac

MW2 for Windows

Do you have any more questions JPH77?

Next time read a bit more carefully before you call me out. I know what I'm talking about.

Why would you use the phrase "you should" if you can't? Don't make a drawn out BS post to cover up your screw up. I should make a million dollars a day, but I don't. "you should" go back to the OT.

Jesus. Are you this thick, or do you just pretend?

What I was talking about, is games being put out in different formats. Like my post above. I posted a link to a Windows game, and then a link to a Mac game, of the same game. Also, that game is available for Xbox 360 and PS3.

So, since you can buy MW2 for Windows PC's, there should be a version available for Mac PC's, as well as other platforms.

Do you understand the use of the word "should" now?
Go back to my last post, click on the links that I took the time to search for, and see that the game is available in either Mac format, or Windows format.

When I said should earlier, I didn't google to see if every single game put out on Window's format is available in a Mac formatted game.

Why use the word should when there is not? There is not a mac version of every game I can buy for PC. I can read dude. Unless you are making a statement that in your opinion every PC game should have a mac counter part? If so fine, but if you are stating that every PC game has a Mac counter part which it read that way you are wrong. LOl I read the part about schooling me? Your the idiot that didn't know that all pc games didn't have a mac game also. So who needs to go to school? ROFL just give up man.

Again. I said that if a game has a Windows version, it should have a Mac version as well.

I never said if a game is made for PC, it is definitely available for Mac.

You're the stupid frick that assumes too much and doesn't read information accurately.

Try again needle dick.

ETA: Because you have so many problems understanding my original post, I'll put it up again so you can try again at reading comprehension.

Yes, I said ANY. Any game that you can buy for Window's, you should be able to buy for Mac. I never said, any window's game you buy, will definitely have a Mac version for it.

You fricking fail again. But thanks for keeping me busy at work. It's not very often I meet idiots like you.

You're the one that can't fricking comprehend English.

I'm thinking you're the only person on here that is this fricking dumb that you cannot understand simple basic sentence structure.

Let my try to rephrase this in idiot version.

Any game that is available most likely will have a Mac formatted version.

Does the dummy understand this any better?

Because, it's the same thing, just re-worded. For dummies like you.

SG_Geaux I'm glad someone sees what I see. lol

I'm just guessing but I'd say maybe 1 in 500 PC games have a Mac copy made also.

All you are doing is starting shite because you don't like Macs. You have provided nothing of value to this thread.

I'm not doing it because I hate Macs at all. I just tried to correct him and he doesn't understand. Like I said above maybe 1 in 500 PC games are on Mac.
