I just got my new 12" PB (rev.B)with 768 RAM, Panther, SD and airport.

Any strong recommendations for a new game that will run flawlessly and play/look great on my new baby? on-line play would be a plus.

No counter-strike for mac right? Any good sports games (not golf)?

Is that EverQuest?

Somehow, i have never been able to get immersed in rpg's....maybe i just never have the time.

i played max payne on my iBook...it was fine...nothing special.

Not golf? Tiger Woods 2003 is a great demo game, it looks really good. And KGA Golf is outstanding, as well....

AirBurst, I think, is a great example of a Mac demo game. People will say, "Whoa, that looks fun/cool/neat... can I get it for Windows?" When you say no, they'll instantly go, "wow, there are decent games for the Mac."

As for a technically difficult game... something 3D... EverQuest might be good, yeah. Aliens Vs. Predator 2 maybe?

Splinter Cell is coming out sometime soon for Mac, too.

Mac has NO good sports games like Madden or NBA Live and those kinds of stuff. We get the stinky Golf games.

Sorry to dissapoint you but you need a PC for those types of games.

And don't try War3 to show off your PB.
