JoeH - Mac Games
At the moment I just use it to go on GAX chat and MSN while gaming, but I just feel like that's a complete waste of what was £699. Being a gamer, my mind first turned to gaming. Wouldn't it be cool to carry around my favorite games with me everywhere I go? So I started browsing the internet for games.
This is the part where I beg for your help. Basically I want some recommendations for mac games that are pretty old, perhaps some classics that I missed. Basically anything that's in a bargain bin would be fine.

Have you played the Myth series by Bungie (back before they were acquired by Microsoft)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_(computer_game)
The original Myth was developed 10 years ago, so the graphics won't be stellar by todays standards, but I thought they did an outstanding job with the storyline and drawing you into the game.

(http://www.chroniclogic.com/index.htm?gish.htm) It is somewhat recent, but there is a free demo if you'd like to be able to test whether or not it would work. It's a really fun game. Triptych is another good one made by the same company.

Uplink, great hacking game, though often buggy.
Ares, an interesting space action rts.
Cythera, you fall asleep on a dark an stormy night and awaken in Cythera to help a king of failing health deal with the intrigue infecting his kingdom. Generic story, but a world that begs to be explored.
Escape Velocity, 2d elite, make your fortune fighting or trading while exploring the plot lines that twist and turn through the galaxy. Then go online and find yourself some of the really good plug-ins, I still remember Heart of Orion...
Escape Velocity: Override, like EV, with a slightly different graphics engine, and a different base galaxy to explore. Watch out for Captain Hector, though. The lovable chap who just dropped in to remind you to buy EV feels that some just reward is due, play past the registration date and he may be forced to steal a small amount of money from you every once in a while.
But it's all shareware, so go ahead and dl it, play for a while and see if you think it's fun. If it is then buy it and enjoy it fully.
