I've read about it's limited graphics capability. I'm not a big game guy so it's not too much of an issue. But I would like to have a few games to goof with here and there.

I like simpler games that don't require lots of codes and command crap. I did enjoy playing Resident Evil way back. I also have Silent Hill for PC. Would these type work on a Macbook? Are they even available? I hardly see any games for Mac in stores. Weird.

Looking for any suggestions from fun, simple stuff to the scary stuff.

I think Civilization 3 Complete is pretty nifty, and works well on a MacBook even in emulation. All the Apple retail stores I've been to have most every current game available on the platform at the time. Granted that isn't much if you're coming from the Windows side of things, but that's just sort of how it is. I imagine if you were using BootCamp with a Win XP installation, then Resident Evil and Silent Hill would both probably run just fine. I don't believe those two games are available on Mac OS X, though.
