What games should I get for my 2 year old macbook ?

Asked by Staalesen (2722points) January 19th, 2010

I have an about 2 year old Macbook (intel) With these specs:
Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz
and 2 gigs of ram.
The Video card is an integrated 9500 something IIRC..

I would like to get a few new games soon, and I would prefer that they run on my machine :p
Since I have boot camp installed, both win and OSX games are good.

The games I have spent most time with uptil now is strategy games, like Civ 1 & 2, Alpha Centauri, Caesar III.

Most action games I play on either the 360 or PS3.

Lurve for good suggestions :p

I found spore fun in the begining, but then It just started to repeat itself..

Yes that’s true…

Spore doesn’t (or isn’t supposed to) work on the integrated class of macbook video cards, sorry.

I highly recommend age of mythology.

I’d say don’t worry about new games and stick with Civ 1… top quality game right there =D

@davids Yeah, I live Civ 1… I just wish I had the diplomatic possibilities from alpha Centauri in a Civ game… Anyone played 3 & 4 ? How does it compare ?

World of Warcraft run quite well on a Mac. I would play Starcraft or Warcraft III if you haven’t already. There is a mod for Warcraft III that basically turns it into Diablo called Defense of the Anchients (DoTA). It is great fun.

You could check out older Bungie games such as Halo and Marathon. They have various older games that are for Mac.

I’m sorry, this is the best I can do. I’m more of a console gamer.
