Where do you go to find out about shareware/freeware games? Are there any good sites that cover these types of games for the casual gamer who just wants to have a few minutes of fun without learning how to properly maintain an aircraft carrier?
I know about macgamefiles and other such places, but I guess I'm looking for something a bit more magazine-like that doesn't just have everything in the world thrown in, but only things a human has looked at and deemed worth my time to download and check out.
Suggestions? Thanks.

They create nice shareware games and the plus is that they are Mac centric, ie they release mac games before releasing the Windows version if any.
Now you can also check <a href="http://www.versiontracker.com" target="_blank">versiontracker</a> they carry most shareware games..

There's a lot of junk on it. I'm not looking for a specific company, I'm looking for sites where 3rd parties have looked at the games and aren't posting just gobs of junk URL's.
Just wanted to clarify what I meant by my question.

well, I was going to say the same but here are a few more places, I use VT though. But there is <a href="http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/" target="_blank">apple's OS X software site</a>, also try these mac gaming sites <a href="http://www.macgamer.com/" target="_blank">mac gamer</a> & <a href="http://Insidemacgames.com/" target="_blank">inside mac games</a>.
hope that helps.
