Yes I know those through google search. But I dont want to get lost in those sites for searching games. All I expected here is some opinions from experienced people, who played games on their MBs.

The two games i play on my macbook are Call of Duty 2 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Call of Duty 2 is a UB and works pretty well except for some hardcore bombing sequences then it starts to lag a little. Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a PPC game that runs through Rosetta. Its not very graphic intensive so it runs really well. It's not the best game but it's fun to blow up Nazi's every once in a while. My roomate has a Doom 3 that im going to try to run later this weekend and ill let you know how it runs. Hope this helps a little im not really a gamer.

World of Warcraft if you like MMORPG
BZFlag - think of it as the classic video game Battlezone brought in to the 3D online multiplayer realm
Vendetta Online - Again, a "reboot of sorts"..Remember "Elite"? 3D. Online. Multiplayer.

you can get America's Army for free. I actually have windows xp on my computer to play it because the mac version is a few versions old and I want to play with my friends. But it's a pretty good game if you give it a chance to get used to the style, and best of all it's free!
I was able to pay for my new macbook
just by trying out products from home.
The pay is great and it's free to join.

Doom 3 runs pretty choppy on my MacBook. Unreal is great, and i have been playing Alien vs. Predator 2.

I have XP on my book as well, America's Army runs fantastic on it, but GTA SA gliches out my Razor Copperhead mouse really bad.

xsphat, do you run those on XP or mac. I am not intending to run XP on MB so any windows specific games are out of question.

i have unreal tournament 2004,becouse its an online fps i need alot of speed so i watered the graphics down a bit and lowered the resolution and its more tha playable.it can full at full steam with all the setting on full but the framerate is too slow for an fps.i blame the graphics card i heard it has no dedicated memory or something.

specs

1.83 gh core duo
2 gig ram

by the way before you buy any mac games make sure their either universal binary (theirs a logo you should look out for) or intel optimised.
