I fancy playing a game, i have not played a computer game for years. The last time was gran turismo 4.


I used to be quite good at dungeon keeper 1 and 2, but things must have moved on a bit now. The problem is I have a mac, so i don't think I will have much choice.


Can anyone recommend me anything?

I only have a keyboard and mouse, so i think simulation games are out.

Likewise you can look in the app store and there will be a selection there.

Or if you have a good net connection (my 10Mb/s cable copes easily) and want to dabble in any number of games then go register at onlive.co.uk. The game actually runs on a remote server and streams the video down to you, so you can play ostensibly PC-only games on the Mac no problem. Most of the games have 30 minutes free as well so you can have a go without paying a penny.

I was genuinely astonished at how playable the games were and how good the experience was.

That's a good shout actually. I played a lot of DIRT2 on there smile
