"nTrap" looks like an awesome 3D action game in development:
http://www.agdsoft.com/game/agd-game-intro.htm

It sounds like it has Red Faction-style geometry modification, plus next-generation graphics that should do nicely on a GeForce 3. Game play is a bit of a mystery to me, but it has interior and outdoor environments, and different vehicle types. See some early development screenshots here: http://www.eurogamer.net/content/ss_ntrap

See http://www.agdsoft.com for more--I am about to paw through the Press stuff.

I've only just begun reading about this game at DescentBB.net (it seems many D3 players are interested in nTrap) but it looks awesome. The product is still very much in the future, so word from the company is that a Mac version is very much a "maybe later":

"At the moment our engine is designed to run all kind of Windows and even MS-DOS will be supported (dedicated server only).

We'd like to port to Linux on intel platforms first, if this is not going to be too difficult, but it looks good.

A bigger step would be a port for mac, and probably there are more people willing to pay for a game than on Linux

I will keep that possiblity in mind, but i can not promise you anything."

(From http://nTrapBB.net/nTrapBB/Forum3/HTML/000005.html -- the company seems pretty responsive to users, at least! Lots of info can be found from AGD in this unofficial forum-- http:nTrapBB.net --which started out as a subsection of the http://descentBB.net forums.)

Post or email and ask for a Mac version, but be nice! (And realistic. I wouldn't expect any Mac commitment so early.)
