For you Mac users out there...

This is a 'free for all' thread where you can discuss any games available on the PC or consoles.... yeah I guess you can include Mac.

I know, you are already used to getting the shaft when it comes to games. I thought I'd tell you all to keep an eye out on something called Wineskin. You probably already know about Wine, from its more 'comercial' use under Codeweavers as Crossover games. While a good program in its own right, I'm not a fan of pricing. Wineskin 'wrappers' as they are called, I find easier then the 'bottles' as well. Its currently in its 1.0 state, but I'm using it to run Star Trek Online on my Mac. Works great! Runs just as smoothly as it does on my actual PC. Havn't tested anything else out, but the site shows BG2, and Heroes of Magic (? The one with a party of four, and had like six games in the series...) Anyway, basically, keep an eye out! Also, check the links section for a link to a forum with a bunch of wrappers for various games. Its all part of a 'free' porting push.Have a good one all.*Edit*That being said, its not user friendly, and Crossover Games is probably the better option. Tried installing M&B. Not fun. STO was done by someone on the forums, and was signifigantly easier to use. :P
