Hey people. New to Mac gaming. Actually, the only game I've played on Mac is Diablo II. Enjoyed it. Are there any futuristic dungeon crawlers out there? I liked Diablo, but I'm not really into that type of fantasy. For example, if I were to play a MMO, I'd go for City of Heroes instead of WOW. I have a 2.4 GHz MacBook Pro with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT.

On a side note, has anybody played City of Heroes? Is it fun to play by yourself? Thanks

There are some for the PC ...so assuming you can bootcamp ...

Space Hack is reasonable - not great, but passable.

Space Siege is mediocre but available very cheap now.

Restricted Area is also average, but also should be available for cheap.

If you don't mind bootcamping then Hellgate: London may be what you're looking for.

I play city of heroes, solo, duo with wife, and with group, and I find it quite enjoyable.

I certainly enjoy the more modern world in it. The fantasy setting doesn't do much for me.

Although the barrier of entry is much higher, and you want an MMO, you could look into EVE, which also has a Mac client

Oh yeah, that isn't too bad, even without any multiplayer.
