Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep
 – 

BEST DLC EVER!

Tiny TIna's Assault on Dragon Keep is easily the best DLC Gearbox has ever released. Filly with fantastic environments and enemies, and the most amusing of quests. One has you forcing 3 "player" characters to ragequit by killing them and teabagging the corpses. Another quest has you attempting to pickup a gun, but you keep failing the roll to pick it up. Hilarious for gamers and D&D fans alike. Being stuck in Tiny Tina's imagination is so fun I wish they'd make a whole game out of it.

Borderlands 2: Season Pass
 – 

Want more Borderlands 2?

If you're looking for more BL2 at a great price, look no further. The DLC packs are all fun and varied, each one offering something completely different. They often surpass the main narrative in terms of humor and writing. Well worth the pickup, in addition to the extra characters and the level pack which gets you to 61. If you're a fan, get it!

The Wolf Among Us (Telltale Key)
 – 

A fantastic new adventure from Telltale Games.

Telltale has once again worked their magic to transport you to a compelling universe with a convincing atmosphere in The Wolf Among Us. Riveting storytelling and a mature twist on familiar characters make for excellent gameplay. Don't miss the start of this dark and thrilling modern day fable.

Max Payne 3
 – 

Runs great - may have launch problems

Great Game for any 3rd person shooter fans, or longtime Max Payne fans like myself. (1999 baby.) It runs well on my mid 2010 iMac, very well in fact.

Including some video links for ease of reference:

The Showdown Effect Deluxe Edition
 – 

Zany Multiplayer Action

The showdown effect takes cliched action heroes and effects and mashes them together into a fast-paced and challenging multiplayer experience. Its hard to learn, but definitely an entertaining blend of visuals, sounds and gameplay. Since it supports up to 8 player matches, its a great game to play with friends. Check it out!

Borderlands 2
 – 

Awesome Sequel

You don't have to be a fan of Borderlands to enjoy Borderlands 2, but you will be more familiar with the NPC's and get some cosmetic bonuses if you import your saves.

But how is the game? It is AWESOME. In solo or coop the game is riotous fun, and a big improvement over the first game, which was already great. The weapons are better, enemies are more varied, AI smarter, locations and levels better designed, and visually its top notch. The game signature humor remains in place, and you will be frequently chuckling or laughing out loud.

The best? Its STEAMPLAY. Means you get access to all the PC players as in Multiplayer, so there's no shortage of people to play with. The only small caveat is that when the PC version gets updated there's a short sync delay as Aspyr has to patch the Mac version as well. So during that time you will be only able to play with Mac players or by yourself.

Overall a game you do NOT want to miss. Better than BL1 in every way and an amazing time with your friends. The base game offers huge amounts of content, and all the DLC (expansion packs) offer a lot more. Don't miss out!

Call of Duty: Black Ops Rezurrection Content Pack
 – 

Good maps

A little on the pricey side, but these extra 5 maps are a lot of fun. If you're a fan of the zombies mode, then this DLC is for you.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
 – 

Awesome game, works great even on low-end hardware.

If you don't meet the minimum system requirements, fear not! This game runs great even on my under-spec MBA. It ran very smoothly on the auto-detect settings, which was 1024x768 resolution and medium settings. The machine itself is "unsupported" in the processor, video card department and OS version. It wants 10.7.4.

MBA Specs: 13" Mid 2011. 1.7 GHz Core i5. 4GB RAM. Intel HD 3000 (384mb) Lion 10.7.3.

I played through the first mission smoothly..I may even try turning up a few things.

On my main machine, a 27" iMac, Core i5 Quad 2.8Ghz, 8GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD5750 1GB it runs perfect at High settings. So most anyone should be fine running this if you have something similar to one of the two machines above.

Pro's

Intense and engaging campaign
Exciting and varied multiplayer
Zombies mode is silly fun
Combat Training lets anyone practice

Cons

Short campaign
Occasionally annoying "press-key-repeatedly" events in the campaign.
Some multiplayer limitations

The Darkness II
 – 

Multiplayer works

Just wanted to respond to digktialx.

To play online:

1. In the main menu click on Vendettas.

2. The next screen asks if you wish play online or offline. Of course click "Online"

3. New Campaign or quick match will get you into the Vendetta co-op missions with other players. You can also do "Search" and find ongoing games to join.

4. Hitlist allows you to select any mission/level from the main Vendettas, as well as a few Hitlist specific levels.

5. There is no deathmatch style modes, only the co-op missions.

Fun arcade action

Great arcade game that is absolutely GORGEOUS. All 3 different ships are fun, and with lots of missions and a survival mode this can keep you busy for awhile. Its also challenging, kicking my butt on easy.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Ultimate Edition
 – 

Incredible Game

You do not need to have played the original Deus Ex to throughly enjoy the games story and setting. But you will appreciate it all the more if you have. Still the game stands perfectly well on its own. Its an amazing title with an immersive world, intriguing story, good characters, voice acting. Outstanding musical score and satisfying action and upgrades.

It's a breathtaking experience that only gets richer with each playthrough. Do not miss this game.

Company of Heroes Complete: Campaign Edition
 – 

Impressive WW2 Strategy

At the end of the day Company of Heroes is pretty easy to recommend - as long as you can accept its a single player only game. The gameplay is brilliant, the tactical options deep and varied, and the multiple campaigns are fun, well voiced and will keep you busy for awhile. $50 does seem a bit high to ask for a campaign only title, but you have about 40-50 hours of gameplay here as well. World War 2 strategy fans won't regret picking this up, its an intense, realistic and engaging recreation of WW2. Check it out.

Hector: Badge of Carnage Full Series
 – 

Great Adult Themed Adventure Series

Lots of laughs and good puzzles to be found here if you don't mind crude humor and lots of adult jokes. Solid story, charming animations and memorable characters. Definitely worth a look for anyone looking for unique adventure/puzzle game.

Great Game

Racing is back on the Mac! I'm not even a fan of racing titles but this game is really really fun. It looks good, plays good and runs perfectly on my iMac. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who likes racing games so be sure to check it out.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Deluxe Edition
 – 

Great Game

For everyone trying to run this on laptops, or complaining it won't run on your laptop, read the requirements. They explicitly state laptop and integrated video cards are not supported and only "may work."

Game runs great on desktops and is lots of fun. Good graphics, gameplay and story. Would recommend playing AC2 first however, as its a sequel to that.

Avadon: Old School RPG with modern elements

Spiderweb Software has always known how to weave an intriguing tapestry of epic questing, immersive atmosphere along with a compelling story, characters and dialogue. Avadon: The Black Fortress is no exception. Graphics are great, dialogue snappy, quests varied, leveling and loot addictive. Everything a solid RPG needs. Its pleasing to see that even after 16 years of making old-style RPG's, Jeff Vogel knows how to keep things fresh and interesting. Buy it!

Throw in great combat, RPG elements and excellent dialogue and characters and you have one the best FPS games ever made. Do yourself a favor and pick this up for yourself or a friend. Would you kindly?
