We are mostly focused on PC computer games, but we thought we would write up our list of best Macintosh computer games ever. To show a little love to the Macintosh using public.
Now no doubt many of you think Macintosh users don’t have it as well, as PC users, when it comes to gaming. Well that is both true and false. PC users have a greater variety of games to pick from. But only the really good and popular games ever make it to the Macintosh platform. So Macintosh computer games tend to be of a higher quality than PC games.

Stong Points:
World at War is the fourth installment in the Call of Duty series and this is probably the best first person shooter ever made. Where the previous games were set in World War 2 this one moves us right to modern day warfare.
In the game you will get to play as a British SAS operative as well as a US Marine. The game will take you from combat at see to hunting down terrorists. I was glad to trade in my WW2 rifle for some modern day weapons.
My only criticism of the game is that the single player is a little short. Still the online gameplay more than makes up for it.

Neverwinter Nights is one of my personal all time favourite games. It is a medieval fantasy roleplaying game not to dissimilar to Baldurs Gate and Icewind dale, but better.
I can’t say much about the game without giving away the main story line and it’s much more fun discovering it yourself. I can tell you that you can play the game as either a good or evil character, based on the decisions you make. For instance at one point in the game you come across a merchant. His bodyguards have decided to rob him on their journey. Will you save the merchant, help the guards and split the loot or kill them all and keep everything. These decisions may seem trivial but how you treat those around you especially your traveling companions will affect the outcome of the game.
The combat in Neverwinter Nights is based on Dungeons and Dragons. So if you are a dungeons and dragons fan you will recognise the races (elf, dwarf, half-orc, halfling and human) as well as the classes(cleric, ranger, barbarian, paladin, warrior, druid, wizard and sorcerer). Many of the spells like “magic missile” and skills like “lock picking” is also from Dungeons and Dragons.
There is a toolset for the game, which means once you are done with the game, you can download mods online. Some of these mods are as good if not better than the game itself.

Lego Star Wars II is still primarily an action adventure computer game in which you control a group of characters as they blast their way through enemies and do some light puzzle-solving.
In my opinion the game is a cute easy to play computer game. I thinks it’s a good game for playing on your laptop when you are traveling or maybe for your kids to play at home.
