I love video game shopping. I guess the equal to my girlfriend taking me shoe shopping is me taking her video game shopping, and in both cases we rarely leave with anything. I love going into Best Buy and searching through PS2 games and X-Box games (despite the fact I don't own an X-Box) and I even enjoy looking at PC games. My PC and I had a bit of a falling out a year ago. See, it got old (7 years this Christmas) and had to be put down. We never really got along anyway. The last PC game I paid money for was Dues Ex, after which I stopped buying PC games. My computer was too old and couldn't for the life of itself handle anything that was coming out, so I spent my PC gaming days downloading old PC games on the internet (as they were no longer still for sale anywhere outside of maybe eBay).
Well, I got a Mac last year. I had to. It's for school (Final Cut Pro and all). Well, thing is, I've had the itch to get some new games. I had this thing once against computer games, such as if I have to upgrade my computer for every game that comes out... what the hell's the point. But, I still want to play them... and... well, turns out it sucks to be an Apple owner and want to play PC games.
First off, the only games you can find you have to get on the internet or maybe Comp USA if you're lucky. No Best Buy shopping thrills. Those are gone if I want a computer game on a MAC. Next off, the games you do get are ported games from the days of old. I can get Halo or Real Myst or, hell, I can get Max Payne man! You know... the original Max Payne. Wow... that's... that's impressive. Finally, I could get the Microsoft Virtual PC if I really wanted to play PC games on my MAC. But, it's expensive and I doubt it works. I really don't want to fool with it either.
Basically, I just want to hear from my fellow MAC owners and hear if they have the same problems I do. I love my MAC a great deal... it's a powerful little sonofabitch. I just wish I could play with it the way my PC and I used to play... before the PC became an old hag and I had to load it full of buckshot to put it out of its misery.
