I work as a coat check on weekends and need something to pass the time(there is WiFi in the closet) so i want to buy a game for my aluminum macbook. Its the 2.4ghz with no upgrades. Im leaning towards Age of Empires III because im a big fan of strategy games like Red Alert (used to have it on OLD PC). Before i bought it i just wanted to get some other ideas or if anyone had it on a similar system and it failed badly id get something else. I hate WoW so if anyone suggests it, i hate you.
 
You could always go for WoW.

The OP said NO to WoW, thanks for reading.

Hey if you like Real Time Strategy, try Warcraft 3. It is a little dated, but is still extremely fun and doesn't require a huge time commitment like WoW.

Agree! Get warcraft 3. Perfect balanced strategy games with still a huge community. U can play 1on1, 2on2, 3on3, 4on4 and free for all plus lots of fungames which can get you addicted ;)
 
If you don't mind CrossOver Games or VMWare Fusion then Dawn of War and its' expansions is great.
Warcraft 3 is also good fun.
 
i dont have any type of crossover so windows based games are out. ive played warcraft 3 and its pretty tight. Has anyone tried Age of Empires III on a alumacbook?
 
i personally found AOE3 very boring, i rate warcraft3 and the x-pac tho

I was joking, thanks for having the sense of humor of a dry biscuit.
 
Try Neverwinter Nights. Either the first one, or the second. I believe the second can be played on the new Macbooks - but you need to look into it.
