Does anyone know if any of the Bungie or Epic Games work?

Like um, the halo trilogy and Gears of war series?....

Thanks,

Joyous

I almost for got... the machine that I am using is home made here are the specs:

AMD Phenom 9600 Agena 2.3GHz Socket AM2+ 95W Quad-Core
ASUS M4A78-E
2 - EVGA GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 256-bit
2 - OCZ Platinum 4GB
2 - Seagate Barracuda 1TB (in addition to gaming, I do LOTS of multimedia work)
ABS Tagan ITZ Series ITZ800-V2 800W
Antec Performance One P180 Silver
DVD burners
LOTS of fans

Which brings me to another question... is it a bad idea to game on a mac with AMD processors? I know with XP its great. But i dunno about a Mac. I do all my multimedia on my mac and game on my PC and I am trying to converge the two.

Thanks again,

Joyous

Halo exists for OS X natively. Halo 2 can be played in Boot Camp.

There is no Gears of War for OS X yet.

You could always throw them in a Cider shell.

natively meaning theres a Halo game built for the mac platfrom already

boot camp is installing windows xp or vista on a seperate partition of your computer

You don't have to give anything, actually; Aleph One is free, and so are all the Marathon games.
