Starcraft should be the only game you ever need on an iBook.

That, and Civ III.

i tried the unreal tournament demo and it ran like an asthmatic pig on my new ibook - i tried it once and deleted it immediately. i've read on this forum that it runs okay but this was not my experience at all. maybe i should have fiddled more, but i'd already bumped every graphics setting down as low as it'd go...

warcraft 3 runs sweet as, if that's your kettle of fish?

Unreal ran great for me, but you need enough RAM

Do not use the Demo of UT as any indication of how the game will play. I initially ran the demo on my machine ( iBook 1.33 , 768MB Ram ) and it was horrible , but after installing the retail copy and patching it to the current version it runs very well. Not to say a little tweaking dosent hurt , but I feel that you will me much more pleased with the final copy vs the demo.

Yeah the unreal demo runs ultra crappy on my fairly decent powerbook. The general word in the forums is that the real copy plays much better. However, I'm not about to buy it again, as I already have it on PC. I'd rather have it on my powerbook if it ran as it's great for playing sporatically (sp?) at the library or where ever.

I love rise of nations, and neverwinter nights is supposed to be really good (though I've only played through the demo and liked it very much).

Installing WoW as I type this!
