While we are still waiting for Valve to release their games and the Steam platform for the Mac as they promised a month ago, other game developers feel Apple isn't all that excited about bringing high end graphical games to the Mac platform. One of them is Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli who actually owns a Mac.

However, as he told Kotaku, getting his studio to port their upcoming first person shooter Crysis 2 to the Mac is not likely to happen. He states, "If Apple would really push then we would probably think about it." He adds, "Any time we talk to Apple, they're like 'Yeah we're excited' but then they pull back. I just [sense] a lack of enthusiasm about Apple for this.' Perhaps if the Mac Steam port is successful we could see Apple changing their tune.

Howdy folks. Akela is taking a little vacation (he'll be back) but we didn't want to let the readers of our weekly Mac gaming article think we had forgotten them. Today we are doing something a little different for this week's installment. Instead of reviewing some new Mac games we are taking our crystal ball and checking out the prospects for future Mac games.

As you will see in our latest gallery feature Mac gamers will have a mix of older games that will finally make their debut on the platform alongside major PC game releases that will have a simultaneous release for the Mac.

Mac users get ready to stand up and cheer or ... at least smile. InstantAction, the 3D browser-based online gaming site, has extended its current beta to Mac users. Established in late March 2008 by developer GarageGames, InstantAction treats PC users to a collection of free "console-quality games," all within a web browser.

Launching with four titles, the Mac version of InstantAction doesn't have as robust a library as its PC counterpart but is expected to expand. Users are required to sign up to play but registration is free. Available now for InstantAction Mac is: the first-person shooter Fallen Empire: Legions; future-sport, Rokkitball; the tank warfare title ThinkTanks and fan favorite Marble Blast Online.
