I take it only Valve games are going to work?

It will probably be a lot more flexible than that, I'd hope. Most of my games bought and dowloaded through Steam aren't actually Valve-based at all.

The last one I bought was Rome : Total War. They've got some really good indie games on there too.

I don't care as long as I get Portal on my 27".

I want garry's mod on my macbook.

I'd be amazed if the Windows code of all Steam games can run under Mac OSX. Steam is an app in its own right, but surely the games need porting? They run in a Windows environment, not inside Steam. No?

Exactly. Only games I've heard that are planned to work so far are L4D1, L4D2 and Team Fortress 2 (Current owners of these wont need to buy a second version for their Mac either)

Is that true?! Nice one - time to nab Jain's Macbook off her then!

Portal would simply look awesome on a 27" iMac.

FPMSL! Aye - I rinsed the single player campaign and then had a small dabble online.

I keep going back to L4D2 for online shooters mainly. BF2142 keeps taunting me from the shelf though.

Gimme a nod on xfire the next time you're taking in some 2142, been too long since i've lay down and opened up.
