What Games Should I Get for My New G5?
Lane.exe wonders: "So I just got a new Apple Mac G5 (Dual 1.8s, 1GB RAM, Radeon 9600, etc) and I was thinking about getting back into some gaming. I was looking over the game selection for Mac, and it's not looking as bright as I'd hoped. But I think this is due more to my ignorance of good games than anything else. What I'm looking for is a few good multiplayer shoot-em-ups (like Quake, UT or Half-Life) and a nicely engrossing RPG. The last few games I've played were Icewind Dale, Pool Of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, and MechWarrior 4. Has anyone got any suggestions along these lines?"
Here is a link to an explaination of how to install the first NWN expansion pack on the Mac. The second expansion installs much the same. http://nwn.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html?topic =268892&forum=71&highlight=sotu+installati on

While they might not have the world's most descriptive titles, you'd do well to check out Rrootage and Noiz2sa
They're both highly abstract top-down shooters with pretty cool graphics. It's quite difficult to describe them with words -- the only way to experience them is to just play them. There are also windows ports availible somewhere.

tranquility is simple to learn, yet takes months to master.
Playing through all it's levels takes most players over 100 hours.
It's a great way to show off what your G5 can do and looks amazing on a big Cinema Display.
It's good for you, it's cheap, and if you talk to it nice it might wash your car.
There's no other game like it (and there's probably a reason for that...)
... I can't believe no one mentioned Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory!!!
imho, best damn multiplay fps out there now - an' it's free!
