Last week, the long anticipated release of the gaming platform, Steam, got release for Mac. I was really excited about this because I haven’t been able to use my Steam account since I got rid of all my Windows machines. First off, not all games are available for Mac, but most of them will soon be ported and all future releases should be available for Mac. In anticipation for the Mac release, Steam is giving everyone a free copy of Portal which works on both Mac and PC. Overall, it is a pretty nice release for a first version of the client. One downfall to it is that Portal does not play well on my Mac Mini, but works decent on my MacBook. The first few days, downloading some games, like Portal, were kind of slow because everyone was downloading at the same time. The client is practically the same as the PC client, but a little more elegant in my opinion. I definitely can’t wait until more games get ported to the Mac such as Counter Strike: Source and Team Fortress 2. Overall, I hope they improve performance with games on the Mac mini and that more games get ported to the Mac as soon as possible. I definitely recommend the download if your a gamer and use the Mac.Last week, the long anticipated release of the gaming platform, Steam, got release for Mac.
