If Blizzard were to rerelease Warcraft 2 for Mac... maybe charge $5.... people would buy the **** out of that.
Warcraft 2 is the best computer game of ALL TIME!
Was that clear? IMHO
But they don't sell it and it doesn't run on Macs

That's a huge jump between the minimum system requirements and the recommended system requirements.
A Core i3 with the Radeon 5670 is at least a 2010 iMac. Then again, we are in 2014....
The one game I'm waiting for is Marvel Heroes. The Mac beta is currently up in-house and they'll soon be doing a public beta. It currently has fairly low system requirements on the Windows side which should translate to fairly low system requirements for the Mac, at least comparable to Hearthstone but a much larger game.

Plays fine on my 2008 iMac w/ Radeon HD 2600 Pro
It's a pretty great game! I played this quite a lot during the beta. Lots of depth and polish. Will certainly be a hit when it comes to iPad.
Only gave up because it got a bit frustrating with all the cheesy rush tactics that people pull in higher level ladder play - decks stacked with only low end cards, which is hard to beat if you have a more balanced deck. Maybe they've improved the play balance since then, though.
For anyone wondering what are the real minimum requirements for the game - I have been successfully playing it on late 2008 13" MacBook with Core2Duo 2GHz and 9400M. Had to set the graphics to the lowest setting, but the game run smoothly. I don't think it would run on anything lower, though (as far as graphics are concerned).
I'd say it is 50/50 chance you get a fair match. I just started playing yesterday and won 10 lost 10. Whenever I lost it was because I got absolutely obliterated by higher tier cards seemed like a lvl 1 vs a lvl 20. I was only playing to test out the game though, card games are not my thing even though I am pretty good at them. I won a Hearthsteed mount but I don't play WoW anymore (2004-2008) either hahaha
