Computer games.

[Garrick]

Does anyone use a Mac for gaming? I've always been a console gamer, partly because of the ease of use and I've ever had a computer powerful enough or one that I've looked after properly. Some people have said Macs are rubbish for gaming but others say they're good.

Any games that I wouldn't be able to get on my Xbox 360 that I could play on this? I don't think power will be a problem, I've got 8GB RAM and a Core i5 2.4ghz processor, which is good apparently.

Think you'd be surprised at the number of games that get ported to Mac. After they switched to Intel it turned into a pretty easy process. You can also dual boot Windows and play pretty much everything. Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands 2, Portal just to name a few.

The integrated graphics on a Core i5 are good enough to play most games. Won't be particularly good looking or fast, but most should run.

Torchlight

Great shout - specifically Torchlight 2.

I just recommended that to him.

I'm still playing Spelunky. Not sure why.

Played Torchlight 2 and loved it. Got the idea from here too.

Borrowed my mates PS3 (XBOX owner) so I could play 'The Last of Us'. Instantly in my top 5 games of all time. It's what the Resident Evil games should've become.

Just started playing that 'The Banner Saga' mentioned earlier here. Dont rightly feel like i can ever choose the right course so far. Looks like a cartoon tho, like it so far.

Only to find out Microsoft have messed it up and not counted that people will have the season pass nearly charging us for the second episode.

Enjoy. Just for the sake of my sanity, don't call it a game, as it's an interactive movie.

It's a game.

Got all the Arma games (DayZ included) with the humble bundle a few weeks ago, probably will start playing it with my mates. I have no clue what the game in general's about, but DayZ videos look decent on da web.

I really, really want to play DayZ.

Hopefully I enjoy it when I get the chance to play it. Apparently I don't have the season pass like I said above.


I HOPE ITS A BELTER GAME LID.

Had to.

If that's a game, someone could add "Press X to drown Leonardo di Caprio" into Titanic and call that a game too.

Don't get me wrong, these "games" have ace stories that are enjoyable in their own right, but the gameplay is non-existent. And I'm a graphics adventure fan from back in the day, like Grim Fandango, but there's a difference between point and click puzzle titles and the Telltale titles.
