The Globe and Mail:
The important thing, though, is that I found the MacBook Pro with both Mac OS X and Windows 7 installed felt like a more complete computing solution than anything I’d ever had before.
And it made for great gaming.
Chad Sapieha discovered that the Mac is very versatile once configured with Boot Camp and capable of switching between Mac OS X and Windows, and it sounds like he’s really gotten the best of both worlds.
Some gamers continue to turn their noses up at Macs, but I’m with Sapieha: I’d rather have a beautifully-designed machine that works well than suffer with compromises.
I’ve found with the Mac App Store Boot Camp for gaming has largely become irrelevant. As AAA (but older) titles enjoy success, maybe we’ll start to see more simultaneous releases.
That’s what we’ve been saying since the mid-90s, so I’m not expecting any change any time soon. :
The year of Mac gaming is like the year of the Linux desktop. It will never happen because the technologies are too entrenched (the hardware is pretty similar but the game engines like Unreal and Hero Engine are just now getting OS X ports). That is why I’ve focusing on iOS since for once my preferred platform seems to have wide game developer support.
