What Games Should I Get for My New G5?

Lane.exe wonders: "So I just got a new Apple Mac G5 (Dual 1.8s, 1GB RAM, Radeon 9600, etc) and I was thinking about getting back into some gaming. I was looking over the game selection for Mac, and it's not looking as bright as I'd hoped. But I think this is due more to my ignorance of good games than anything else. What I'm looking for is a few good multiplayer shoot-em-ups (like Quake, UT or Half-Life) and a nicely engrossing RPG. The last few games I've played were Icewind Dale, Pool Of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, and MechWarrior 4. Has anyone got any suggestions along these lines?"

Here is a link to an explaination of how to install the first NWN expansion pack on the Mac. The second expansion installs much the same. http://nwn.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html?topic =268892&forum=71&highlight=sotu+installati on

Rrootage and Noiz2Sa

While they might not have the world's most descriptive titles, you'd do well to check out Rrootage [victoly.com] and Noiz2sa [victoly.com]

They're both highly abstract top-down shooters with pretty cool graphics. It's quite difficult to describe them with words -- the only way to experience them is to just play them. There are also windows ports availible somewhere.

tranquility

tranquility [tqworld.com] is simple to learn, yet takes months to master.

Playing through all it's levels takes most players over 100 hours.

It's a great way to show off what your G5 can do and looks amazing on a big Cinema Display.
It's good for you, it's cheap, and if you talk to it nice it might wash your car.

There's no other game like it (and there's probably a reason for that...)

er... no Wolf?

imho, best damn multiplay fps out there now - an' it's free!
