Mac OS X Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz 24 inch icon

A long time ago, I bought a cheap computer just to run PC games. I used to go to Hastings and WalMart to look for cheap PC games. As I own an Intel Mac machine now, I don’t have to rely on the old game-only machine or PC emulators like Virtual PC or VMware Fusion. I can just switch to Windows XP that is installed on the Windows partition of this iMac 2.8 GHz and run PC games. But does it run all PC games out there?

If you have watched the QuickTime game play videos that we have recently made available, you are probably aware that our iMac 2.8 GHz has been able to run several PC games including Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Sid Meier’s Pirates!, Age of Empires III: Asian Dynasties and Unreal Tournament 3. In fact, we have tested several more PC games on this machine. The following is a list of PC games which run on our iMac 2.8 GHz.  Continue reading →

Unreal Tournament 3 game play video

This is the 4th game play video for Unreal Tournament 3 that we make available for members. Unreal Tournament 3 is different from Unreal Tournament 2003 and 2004 in several aspects. To some extent, Unreal Tournament 3 is similar to Halo: Combat Evolved because you get to ride several different vehicles.

This is another flag capture map. So the ultimate goal is to capture enemy’s flag as many times as possible and bring it to your own headquarters. A fun part of this map is that you get to drive vehicles like tanks and jeeps.  Continue reading →

Okay. We admit that the Unreal Tournament 3 game play video that we made available the other day is not a very good one to watch. So we’ve created 3 more game play videos for Unreal Tournament fans who cannot wait to play on their Macs.

The second game play video is a flag capture map. Players are allowed to use a new weapon called Translocator to transport themselves for a short distance.  Continue reading →

Unreal Tournament 3 game play video

About 8 years ago, I remember having been to CompUSA in Oklahoma City and grabbed a copy of Unreal Tournament for Mac. I had no prior knowledge about the game. When I played it, it was a totally different experience. I played Unreal Tournament 2003, too. A great game… Unreal Tournament 2004? It’s sort of a rip-off game because it uses the same maps from the previous versions, right?

Unreal Tournament debuted on the Mac platform, at first. Then the PC version was released 9 months later. Okay, how about the latest version? Midway/Epic Games released the PC version of Unreal Tournament 3 on November 19, 2007. Even the X 360 version is now available. We know that MacSoft is working on the Mac version. But we don’t know when it’s available.

Just several hours ago, I played the PC version of Unreal Tournament 3 on our iMac Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz. I can’t say if it’s a good game to play because I just started.

Anyway, the following is a game play video for Unreal Tournament 3 that I recorded several hours ago. I just started, so I can tell you that I’m not a good player. Nonetheless, it’s a game play video that we want to share with other Mac gamers.  Continue reading →
