Steam's Mac client can be a little buggy though.Ĭivilisation is considered a turn based strategy whereas Command and Conquer is considered a real time strategy. Valve's Team Fortress 2 is free to play too, which is a multiplayer cartoon-style crazy shooter. Once you've finished the admittedly short single player you can download a huge number of quality user-created puzzle maps, or go online with a friend or random for the co-op maps. I'm a bit of a Portal 2 evangelist, it's a game with a great story, hilarious characters, one that has you solving puzzles and navigating obstacles rather than just killing enemies. these are all great games, and are all pretty cheap. I haven't had a serious go at DOTA 2 as it requires sharper eyesight than I have, but get on youtube and have a look.Īs far as shooters go, I like Valve's games (DOTA 2 is by Valve, but it's not their usual fare), and they (just about) all have Mac versions. It's an online co-op game, where with a few team members you defend a base, each of you using a hero to do so.
DOTA started as a mod for the popular strategy game Warcraft 3, and now the creator was given some new tech and a team to make a sequel. If you like strategy, DOTA 2 is currently in a public beta for Windows and is being released for OS X when it gets a proper release, probably in a few months, which is a hell of a lot of fun. Sorry for the rather vague / subjective question, but hopefully I've given enough detail for someone to recommend something I haven't found Of course feel free to tell me x game will be updated in y months so you may as well wait for now. I'll play mostly likely when I'm not with the girlfriend or bored and purchase the ones that look good when the new MBP arrives.
Do either have similar themes to Command and Conquer and run well with Mac? Can you think of anything else? With regards to shooter, I know COD is available for Mac but how well does it run?
From what I understand about the Strategy offering, we have Civilisation and Age of Empires? I've not even heard of the latter. I'm more into Strategy games (Red Alert style) and the occasional shooter (COD). Obviously they have to be compatible with Mac and run well. Since then I've not really kept up with the industry and because I was into mostly console gaming before, I have no idea what to look for. Before joining University I sold off pretty much all of my games to focus on my studies and I'm now in my first year of proper work.
Before I go into my tastes and hopefully receive some recommendations, I better explain why I'm asking.
