Lately(like the last 3 months or so) I've been working much less on GameSpot AU now that it has moved out of the "new" phase and focused on other new stuff @ CNET. One of those I can talk about has recently launched -- AppleSource. It's a "how to" site for Apple users. Currently it's focused on the Mac computer hardware, software, iPods, iPhones, 3rd party products and so forth. You can find it here.

One area that isn't included yet is Mac gaming. There seems to be little content around on Mac specific gaming and to be honest I haven't ever bought a game specifically for my Mac. For me Windows and consoles are where I have my games.

However, over the past few months quite a few games developers have announced their new releases will be available on the Mac platform. I'm not sure if this is because Macs are getting more popular of because it is less programming effort now that new Macs are running on Intel chips. Probably a little from column A and B.

So I guess this is an open question to other GameSpotters out there: How popular is Mac gaming and how good are games(and selection) that run natively on the Mac?
