Games? Do I stick with Leopard or buy Vista?

[jony080]

What should I do? I've been looking for good games for OSX and I've only seen things like the Sims and Age of Empires etc. Are there any other games that are worth buying out there, or should I just buy a copy of Vista and use Bootcamp or Parallels? :S

Well it depends on what specification's your mac has, because unless you have bought a really and truly top end mac, you wont be able to play decent games, Mac's were not created for gaming!

It's a 2.8GHz iMac with
4GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS
and 500GB HD.

Any ideas?

You can deffo play decent games on that, I'd reccomend XP for gaming though not vista.

As for games for mac, the sims 2 is out, spore is out, nfs carbon, cod 4 but that's about the best.

Thanks, but why XP? Wouldn't it make more sense to buy Vista? :S

Vista is worse for gaming, using more system resources.

Vista is worse for gaming, using more system resources.

Oh for **** sake, not you again.

It uses more because it caches opened programs into the memory for faster loading and clears the cache when the memory is needed.

The 8800GS is crap.

[Josh-H]

Not me again?
What?

So you're saying aero doesn't take up unneccessary system resources for gaming?

[GommeInc]

With those specs, Vista will run perfectly fine.

I think you should buy Windows vista from warez-bb.org.
