One of the only bad things about switching to Mac from Windows is the loss of
games. Despite everything, PCs are still more popular than Mac for gaming.
CrossOver Games comes from the same makers of CrossOver which allows you to
run many Windows applications on your Mac in a virtual environment. Like
CrossOver, CrossOver Games is designed for those with little technical
knowledge and holds your hand throughout the setup process. However, unlike
other CrossOver products, CrossOver Games squeezes every last drop out of the
"Wine" platform in order to handle the demands of games. CrossOver Games is a
great alternative to gaming in Parallels (where games can be very hit and
miss) and Boot Camp (which requires booting-up in Windows only). It won't
however work for all games and you'll have to check the CrossOver Games games
compatibility list to see if yours is supported. I really like the fact that
it doesn't require a Windows installation unlike gaming in Parallels and Boot
Camp. *Overall, CrossOver Games is probably the best solution for hardcore
gamers due to the super-fast Wine platform and it's greater
reliability/convenience for gaming over Parallels and Boot Camp.*Download
