New to Mac gaming. Help!

I know I know, before you all say it, 'macs arent meant for gaming' but i need it for college. So is a list of some really great Mac games? I cant find them anywhere. I like basically anything but racing, and sports. Thanks!

Just go to steam, but don't expect much help from most people here. We are very anti mac

Check Steam and GamersGate out. They both sell some mac games.

Wouldn't a laptop be cheaper? And would likely have less compatibility problems at your school (where I go, people always have problems with their Macs, especially connecting to the network and using software).

I addition to what other people have said, there is the Mac App Store (or whatever it's called).

Check the mac section of steam and also some indie titles are for mac as well (world of goo, trine, Machinarium, etc.) It would be much simpler to just buy a copy of windows and boot windows when you want to play games.

Besides Steam, look for a store that sells Mac software in your area. If you go to a typical computer store they only have Windows stuff, but you can usually find a store that specializes in Mac software including games. Steam doesn't have a huge selection yet for Mac. There are many games ported for Mac over the years that aren't on Steam. You also want to check compatibility though. Macs can't play really old games as well as PCs can. Stick to games that support OS X out of the box or have patches to make them work with OS X.

Why do you need a mac for college?

For the windows thing i can just instal it and it will work? will it slow my mac down alot? and one last question do I switch between the two or can i just play pc games and it will look the same?
