Hey
After playing Nazi Zombies on my iPod Touch I now want to get a Xbox or use my iMac to buy Call of Duty 5 to play the Nazi Zombie levels. :)
Here's the hardware overview of my iMac

Will Call of Duty play fine on it or would I be better off getting an Xbox?
Thanks!

You'd be better off getting an XBox.

Yeah that's what I thought, thanks.

Better off with the XBox.

Better off with the XBox.

Well I have the same iMac and it works great for some games. Even crysis plays amazing on medium settings. (AA AF off though) But everything will be playable

Yeah WaW would work on that... but why not buy mw1 instead of WaW? Same game, cooler guns...

I also have the same iMac (two of them in fact). Play is better on the XBox. It just flows better.

You'll be just fine with that iMac.

WaW would definitely run on that, I played it on a Core 2 Duo 2.4 ghz, AT Radeon 2400 HD, and it ran fine at low-medium.

Yup, go for it OP! You'll get all the benefits of PC gaming too.

Thanks for all you're help, but I'm getting a PS3 Slim now! :D
