Macs and games are a misnomer. If you want games, then run windows. The volume and price of Mac games are such that it doesn't make sense.
Taken as a whole, your post is ridiculous.
Here are sane versions of what you could have meant:
- There is a wider selection of games for Windows
- It is easier to buy physical copies of games made for Windows
- Games perform better/worse/same on Windows Version x, y, or z than they do in OS X
- The particular kinds of games you want to play don't have a particularly good selection on OS X
- Games on the Mac App Store are more expensive than through other means, some of which may not be available on OS X although some are
I've been playing video games since the Commodore 64, games in general (board, card, etc) are my number one hobby. Until last year I was exclusively a Windows user for 15+ years. As of six months ago, my iMac is my primary computer and I run XP installs via Bootcamp and Parallels primarily for games (and .NET development). I assure you, if anyone appreciates the gaming selection differences between Windows and OS X it's me.
There are plenty of games available for OS X. Here are some premium brand ones:
- Starcraft 2
- Assassin's Creed 2
- Portal 2
- Left 4 Dead 2
- Civilization IV and V
- The Orange Box (Half-life, Team Fortress 2, Portal)
- Eve
- World of Warcraft
- Warcraft 3
Those are just the ones that I myself have bought that I remember. That's not including the surge in indy and casual-targeted games for OS X, presumably spurred by strong game sales in iOS. No, not all of the games you want are available, many of which can't reasonably be run in a VM. (My particular pain points right now: Fable III, Warhammer 20k, GTA IV)
The Mac App Store can be overpriced for some games, particularly compared against the same games available on Steam, but... you have Steam, which can be really cheap especially if you're willing to wait for cheap deals.
If gaming is the only thing you're interested in the whole computing world, yes I'd recommend Windows. Can a gamer who likes OS X play a wide variety of great games with a Mac! Abso-effing-loutely.
To the original poster: rather than try to guess at what you might like, I'd definitely suggest downloading Steam and look at the selection of action and adventure games there using the search feature.
