Oh my, isn't this a flamewar waiting to happen?
Now if you're already reaching for that shiny reply button, ready to deliver a devastating argument to why the PC is the superior platform for all things computer games, please stop. I agree, I would like to play games on the PC, but, unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment. Nor is installing Windows using Bootcamp.
So. To get to the meat of the matter. I'll be moving away from home next weekend, to a nice little flat of my own, unfortunately, this flat is sublet, and pre-furnished, with no ability to stow away said furniture (no space in the storage area). This means is that I won't be able to fit in my gaming desktop computer, and at the moment, there is no place in my budget for a more substantial "gaming" laptop.
Fortunately, I already have two laptops that I can bring, unfortunately, none of these are Windows laptops, I've got an Ubuntu netbook, which I use for general Internetting, and a white 13" Macbook (Late 2009) which I currently use only for DJing (and some basic video editing).
Since the Macbook is the more powerful of these computers, it'll have to serve as gaming computer. Unfortunately, I haven't played a lot of games on the mac since my family bought our first PC back in 2003, the only games I have any detailed memories of are Escape Velocity: Nova and Myst, (both of which I'll definitely be getting). Now obviously, a lot of things has happened since then, Steam is out for the Mac and there's Minecraft and whatnot.
Of course, the Late 2009 Macbook is no powerhouse, I won't be able to play the latest greatest offerings, not to mention that I'll still be using the computer for playing music, so I don't want to muck about with boot camp, dual booting and whatnot, risking blowing my entire music collection (that'd be pricey); bottom line, which games do you think are worth playing, that run natively on the Mac and won't kill my CPU?
