Games for macbook computer

I am new to the discussions, but I have a question. I recently bought a new white macbook and want to play games. I understand that it comes with a GMA X3100 video card which is not the best for gaming, but what games will work well on the computer. I like Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Halo....mostly first person shooter/action. Do any of those work, and if not, what will? Suggestions? I appreciate the insight because I am also new to the Mac world since this is my first one.

I actually posted a thread there about gaming on my Macbook which I converted to in January of this year. I mainly stick to my console for gaming but I do like the odd strategy game which I prefer using a mouse for rather than a controller! I was curious as to how well my MB would run games and whilst the first game I got (Age of Empires III) is not going to be as heavy as some of the FPS's out there, I was still impressed at how well it runs on high graphics settings and hooked up to my external monitor running at 1680x1050. Unfortunately I havent got the games you mention for my MB so cant say how they will run, although I wonder if there are demo's available of those games so you could try before you buy?

  • Games for macbook late 2007

    I still use my macbook from late 2007.
    Processor  2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  2.5 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Graphics  Intel GMA X3100 144 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    I know the graphics on these machines suck. I just want some good multiplayer games for when i'm not home. I already play warcraft III on it and I love it. I don't care how old the game is. Are there any old school multiplayer games I could try and run?

    Wow that looks like a cool site. I'll give it a try. The only thing is i'm not familiar enough with older graphics cards to decide if any of those games are worth buying. I'd have no idea how they'd run on my macbook considering it struggles to run dwarf fortress and warcraft III sometimes.

  • Good game for MacBook?

    I know its kind of a vague qustion, but is there any game for the MacBook that runs really well, is fairly new and adicting? I know I'm being too broad here, but if anyone could point me in a good direction, that would help me out a bit. Thanks!

    I have been playing "Hot Potato" with mine!

    WoW would be a very good game if you didn't mind the monthly subscription.

    Use the App Store application in your Dock and in your Applications folder.

    Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

    If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

  • I am trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 13", when i run bootcamp it tells me that there is not a windows support software available for my computer. Where can i get the windows support software for my macbook?

    I am trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro 13", when i run bootcamp it tells me that there is not a windows support software available for my computer. Where can i get the windows support software for my macbook?

    Apple only supports Windows on certain hardware.
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Apple provides their framework for Windows to run on a Mac, a piece of software called a Hybrid MBR that bridges the gap between how Windows reads the drive partition table (MBR) and EFI/GUID partition table that Mac's use.
    It doesn't mean Windows can't run on your Mac, a third party solution called rEFIt will also bridge the gap and allow booting of more that just Windows, Linux as well for a triple booting computer.
    Your hardware has to meet the other requirements the second and third operating system needs as as being able to install drivers that will work for your hardware, especially the fans or they will run loud and fast by default.
    http://refit.sourceforge.net/
    This above is a advanced procedure which requires knowledge how computers and various operating systems, drive formats and so forth work.
    I even admit I don't know everything myself, but I experiment on a separate piece of Mac hardware (out of warranty/AppleCare) designed for this purpose so in case something screws up I'm not taking down my only machine and can use the other to get online and find solutions.
    There is a very high potential for losing your data if your using advanced/non-Apple methods to install Windows on your only Mac where Apple doesn't support it. Also one shouldn't be doing this on Mac hardware that is under AppleCare or warranty as it might be voided. Proceed at your own risk and education.

  • My macbook keeps asking me to use an administrator and their password to continue but nobody seems to know who is the administrator for this computer...does anyone know how to avoid this this or figure out who the administrator is?

    Lynne130,
    to figure out which users have administrative privileges, open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences; each user other than the Guest User will be shown with a description of either “Admin” or “Standard”. It’s typical for the first user created on a Mac to be an administrative user.

  • I own and work on two Mac computers.. a MacBook Pro and an iMac. Am I required to "purchase" the one-time in-App purchase of $4.99 TWICE, one for each computer..??

    I own and work on two Mac computers.. a MacBook Pro (dual core, 3.06GHz, 8 GBs RAM) and an iMac ((dual core, 3.06GHz, 4 GBs RAM). Am I required to "purchase" the Garageband one-time in-App purchase of $4.99 TWICE, one for each computer..??

    The answer to your question is not about the GarageBand content but the concept of downloading any apps (or in-apps purchases) from the app store. The Key is your Apple ID.
    Whenever you download an app (it doesn't matter if you pay for the app or if it is free) you have to to be logged in to the App Store with a valid Apple ID. That becomes your "Online License". Whenever you are logged in to the App Store with that Apple ID you will see your Purchase History, what apps you downloaded and also what apps have updates available. As you see, this procedure is independent from your actual computer. The App Store is only interested in your Apple ID for verification.
    To download an app or content on a different computer, just make sure you are logged in to the App Store with the same Apple ID you did for the initial purchase.
    The button will now display (instead of Free or the price tag) "Install" because the App Store knows that you purchased the item before (with that Apple ID) and that you computer you are on at the moment oesn't have th app installed. Just click the "Install" button to download the app.
    Here is how the Button looks like depending on the condition.
    The same principle applies to in-app purchases. With GarageBand, when you try to restore Purchases, make sure you are logged in in the Apple Store with the Apple ID you made the original purchase.
    One more thing: You don't need to be logged in to actually run an app, only for online activities (downloads, updates)
    Hope that helps

    You mean you just bought a game though iTunes thinking it was for your MacBook Pro.

    You don't. You can go to Apple menu > App Store to purchase games for your MacBook.
    or get my money back.

  • Like an idiot, i bought a game for an ipad and only have a macbook air. can i somehow get the game to play on my air? or have i just thrown $5.29 out of the window?!?

    I recently bought a game for an "ipad", (thru itunes), when I only have a MacBook Air...I had seen where you could switch apps back and forth between devices, ad I thought I could do this. Is there a way to play the game on my Air laptop? Or did I just throw $5.29 out of the window? One more thing...it involved Facebook, and I don't belong...or want to belong!?
    I want to play Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, etc. ON MY MACBOOK AIR!?!???

    No way to play an iOS game on a Mac presently.
    I suspect if you contacted Apple's Customer Support and explained the situation they would refund or credit your account.
