Spy Hunter (Mac)

from: Aspyr


Works on my Intel MacBook Pro. The movies don't play but the game works fine. Would be great if they updated it for full Universal binary but glad I found this title as it is providing me with hours of fun as I make my way through the levels, meeting the level targets and blasting the bad guys, flooring it on the highways throughout the World by car, morphing into motorcycle and speedboat, particularly useful in Venice's canals.

Recommended for a bit of not completely mindless arcade Mac fun.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (Mac)

from: Aspyr

October 08, 2004
I am a complete CSI fanatic, I love the show, I never miss it, so when I got this game I was so excited to play. I was shocked to find there was zero challenge. All you do is move your mouse around the screen till the curser changes then you click. I was sadened to find that every level was no more challenging than the previous. I completed this game from never playing before in about an hour. I was devestated to find CSI would put there name on a game with nothing good about it. The crime scenes weren't even that amazing.

If you, like me, love CSI ... DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME!!!

Sims Livin'Large Expansion Pack (Mac)

from: Aspyr


If you enjoyed playing The Sims House Party then the chances are you'll also enjoy Livin' Large as they are both so similar. The Sims Livin' Large gives you more objects and skins (sims) to toy with along with more funny NPCs (non playable characters) such as The Tragic Clown. There is a genie in a bottle your sim can buy and wish for things such as love and money and there's also a voodoo doll which your sim can use to punish people such as the Obsessed Fan on The Sims Superstar. Livin' Large is not as good as the expansion packs which allow your sim to venture outside their homes like Hot Date and Unleashed and so the novelty tends to wear thin after a while although I'm sure children will enjoy it.

Battlefield 1942: Deluxe Edition (Mac)

from: Aspyr


When I originally bought this game for my PC, it was awesome, smooth and nice graphics, all you could want for a huge online multiplayer game. That was a couple of years ago now. Since I have now recently purchased a Mac G4 PowerBook 1.67Ghz with a gig or ram and 128 mb graphics card, I thought that due to the age of this game that my new mac would have bags of power and capability to handle it smoothly with fairly nice graphics. How wrong i was..... On my mac, it judders and struggles on the lowest settings, with all the advised power settings and with just over half of the bots if playing single playing. As soon as I jump in a jeep and speed up, the whole game slows and the fps drops to something pathetic. Flying is even worse even with the ... Read More:

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Athena Sword (Mac)

from: Aspyr

October 08, 2004
This game is an excellent expansion pack for Raven Shield. The expansion pack extends the old storyline of the bio-terroists in Raven Shield, who have left supporters hidden in Europe. These supporters intend to seek revenge for the failure of their old plan by releasing nerve agents without any demands. Whilst seeking finance for their plan they mess up and take hostages in an Italian art muesum. Cue Rainbow.
The game can be difficult due to the large number of street fighting missions with snipers hiding in windows and wide, open courtyards, expect to lose a lot of your team very quickly. The maps are massive compared to the ones featrured in Raven Shield and are far more detailed both in graphics and sound, for instance, running through ... Read More:

No One Lives Forever (Mac)

from: Aspyr

November 08, 2002
I picked up a copy of this game and was surprised not only that it worked straight off on my Intel MacBook Pro but also that it was so entertaining. The adventure element is well balanced with loads of shooting action and hunting around venues and environments for bad guys and goals. Pick up a copy and you're guaranteed many hours of entertainment and definitely something you'll return to time and again. Recommended!

The Sims: Party Pack (Mac/DVD)

from: Aspyr


Bought this for my new MacBook as I own "The Sims Complete Collection" for my PC at home, and just wanted a cut down version for on the move. Unfortunately, the package is not compatible with new 'widescreen' or Intel based Mac's, as their appears to be a "DrawSocket" error, which Mac OS put's down to the program having '16bit resolution' mumbo jumbo... Cut long story short, it requires a screen resolution of either 800 x 600, or 1024 x 768, which both are NOT widescreen modes.

This is incredibly disappointing, considering this was released in 2005 and the iMac's were well underway with widescreen resolutions. The port of the game by 'Aspyr' is not bad; a little rough round the edges with regards to the Read Me and Manuals, but from ... Read More:
