2. I like Marble Blast Gold on my Macs
I think it came on my iBook installation disks, Panther at that point.

Here's a YouTube sample, of one of the more advanced levels. Normally I tumble, like Miss USA. :)

8. Marbleblast
is addictive. It is laced with heroine. My son, my daughter and I play it.... I bought it years ago and it is still a favorite.
:D

3. Europa Universalis II
It's risk on steroids with a degree from Oxford.

The AI is a clever son of a bitch.

4. I have to be careful buying PC games..
My computer isn't that old, but all these games are so demanding on a computer's resources. I've only got 1.5 mgs of Ram.

5. The Sims 2
It's my current addiction. Before that it was Lego Star Wars II. But they're just so much fun! :bounce:

9. I am a total Sims addict
Been playing Lego Star Wars II on my PS3 though because my Mac couldn't quite handle those games.

Lego Indy is even better. :D

10. LSW2 runs like a dream on my MacBook Pro.
Sometimes a little hot if I leave the disc in with it running for a while, but that won't affect performance.

Sims is great on performance. It runs well even on an old iBook G4. I've been juggling various houses for the past couple of days, waiting for the oldsters to start dying off before I start making new people. :D

11. The problem was I played the first LSW before the UB came out
So it was running on my iMac under Rosetta.

I prefer playing any kind of action games on consoles in general, largely because I have yet to find a USB controller that's as good as the PS controller. I did find a fix to use a Sixaxis with a Mac, though.

12. I've got a USB Xbox 360 controller I use with LSW2 and some other apps
Edited on Mon Jul-14-08 03:57 PM by ZombieNixon
(mostly ones I wrote myself). I love the hell out of the thing. I downloaded an open source driver for the Mac that is quite frankly, even better than the official Microsoft USB driver for Windows.

15. I'm really, really picky about controllers.
The Rumblepad's buttons feel weird to me.

13. the Silent Hill series (Ported from Playstation consoles, but still good times), Far Cry, Doom3...
Edited on Mon Jul-14-08 04:10 PM by primate1
Stubbs the Zombie in rebel Without a Pulse, F.E.A.R.

I'm currently downloading Lost: Via Domus to give that a try as well. Might also give Bioshock a try, I hear it's actually a critique of Objectivism, which sounds neat.
