Wow, Macs really **** for gaming

I just bouth the new Aluminium MacBook with the Nvidia 9400 graphic card (i don't know if it is good or not), and i just realize that the only good game for macs are Call Of Duty 4, is there any good game for macs?

And is the Nvidia 9400 good or not?

Don't get me wrong i love my computer, i never had a problem with it al least for this 4 months. But i want to play something with my computer when i travel not only with my PS3 and my 360 at home.

A 9400 is... okay. At the very least, you should be able to run pretty much anything (except GTA4 maybe), just not on the highest settings.Skittles_McGee

Not high settings? Dam apple they sold me the computer telling me that the new graphic chip can run call of duty for at max settings.

Steve Jobs says otherwise: Macbook Pro

You're probably thinking of this: Mac Pro

World of Goo and Blizzard's games as well. The list of good Mac games is still pretty tiny, though :(

Lol, yeah I got a few jabs from my coworkers a couple of weeks ago when we went to Chicago. They also teased me because I wore my transformers T-shirt. I guess I'm just a big kid after all.

Macs are dumbing down the industry the same way the Wii is Apple products are an insult to humanityFirstDiscovery

Yep, anyone with a Mac can tell you that they're terrible for gaming. I think they're also bad for several other reasons, but that's aurguable. But the fact that Macs are bad for gaming is pretty much a fact.

#1 I have the new 13" Aluminum MacBook....the 9400M is decent but its not great (as its not intended to be, its a integrated graphics chip and the 13" MacBook is a general consumer product, not a professiona/gamer level product)

#2 If you want to play games on your Mac.....go get your copy of Windows XP or Vista and install it to your Mac with Boot Camp and when you want to play games switch over to the Windows operating system and play them natively.....issue solved.

The Mac OS (OSX Leopard) doesnt support many games, or run them efficiently (As expected since Windows runs on about 78% of the computers worldwide).....but I still say it does everything else aside from gaming better than Windows....and Macs run windows too so really its the best of both worlds. Anyone that says Mac's suck cuz u cant game on them has no idea what theyre talking about.....Its 2009, not 2003 anymore...and Yes Mac's have right click too :P

I just bouth the new Aluminium MacBook Pelon208

Macs are **** for everything. They are over priced, underpowered, and have little to no functionality._Pinbot_

Actually Macs are best for sound editing/movie editing.

Worked in over 50 studios around north america and 98% of the studios are using a mac in the studios.

So music/movie editing = better on Mac

Games = better on pc

Frankly the lg p310 has a 13 inch screen a 9600 m gt, 4gb of ram at stock, liquid cooling, and > p8600. Weight 400 gr less than the mac book.

That computer just blows the macbook for anything including gaming

Go to system>Startup disk and format part of your hard drive off for windows, follow instructions, and no, it's not a gaming laptop, but i've found some interesting things, my desktop is a little old, and struggles with Supreme commander, but runs oblivion great, this MBP, runs oblivion like crap, but supreme commander maxed out like a charm (love duo core). You should be able to run Stalker:shadows of chernobyl, supreme commander, all the old sweet blizzard games, and random other crap, but for using it for Higher end FPS's, good luck.
