Civilisation IV (and I assume it's expansions, haven't installed those yet) is working on my Mac with the Complete Edition that I purchased during the sale! Slowly but surely my Steam library is turning light grey instead of dark grey. I'm so happy :D.
heh. I bought all of the penumbra games on steam a while ago. Then i got the humble indy bundle. Now i have 2 penumbra overture games on my steam library. The steam one i can't play. And the IB one i can.

One thing I have noticed is that games launch much faster on my mac and I can switch out of games with cmd+tab instantly, and get straight back into a game instantly. On my PC running Windows 7 Pro x64 there's always a bit of lag up to a couple of seconds at times.

My old 550mhz PC died during (don"t laugh niode) Flash Rom update. Hauntings of PS3 YLOD update while back. Anyways having switched to an older iMAC CRT 500 mhz, I have noticed things do run a little crisper from such an old Retro machine. Won't take on rental Steam but Mame fills in nicely.

I just got mine, I was a little disappointed mainly because I could not get Portal to work correctly because my Mac Mini does not have the video card that required to play, I mean it will load the game but I could not get the menu, I do get to the menu but there no words on it, so I could not select a new game, is there any way to get that fixed and what video card will work the best?
