Valve Invents OSX Gaming
Dimmukane:
Gizmodo had some scans of the new Game Informer that showed Portal 2 was coming out for Macs. Just puttin' that out there.

Remember, they've been constantly working on the Source engine since it was released. Left 4 Dead 2 doesn't run on the same exact version of Source that Counter-Strike does (or even TF2 for that matter). My laptop can run Half-Life 2 just fine, but it chokes on TF2 and can't run Left 4 Dead 1 at all. (Its Radeon x200m doesn't fully support DirectX 9.0c.) Granted Source is nowhere near as demanding as CryEngine, but it's not the same engine it was in 2003.
As far as I remember, the newer Macbooks should have GeForce 9400m graphics and Core 2 processors; they should be able to run these games fine. (According to YouTube, they do under Boot Camp.)
Ozymandias:
It's been confirmed that all Source games are being ported (Half-Life 2 to Portal 2), that they're native ports, and that Steam Play will allow anyone who bought the PC version to also have the Mac version free of charge (and vice versa).
Tom:
Looks like i'll keep having to emulate.
