Trine is excellent, but ye'll be wanting a mouse for the thief and the wizard!
Also, Braid is a work of art. A modern day Super Mario with a really interesting twist.

There are so many excellent games on there, often cheaper than Steam and all will play nicely with your MBA hardware - as long as your not obsessed with playing the latest AAA Big Publisher title.

Civilization V is a great call. Also, Call of Duty 4, Plants vs Zombies, Rome: Total War (why has nobody mentioned this great game?! 
), Angry Birds. I also think X Plane looks great on the high resolution MBA screens.

Ive bought it, and every thing works Running the games through steam.I've heard Anno 1404 is supposed to work fine on a MBA, since it requires rather CPU than GPU power.
It's a great strategy game, don't know if you like them

Hello
Does any of you have problems when playing games on your MBA? I know a guy who told me that if I planned on playing games on my mac, I should get the MBP in stead...is that also true now that the new MBA are out?
I'm not gonna play Call of Duty or something like that, but Civilisation I would like to...
I'm just afraid the graphic, speed etc. won't be as good, if I go for the MBA (13')...

The MBA 13" will have the same performance in games as the MBP 13", since they both have intel HD3000. However the 15" and 17" MBPs have a discrete AMD GPU which will greatly improve game performance.
not a gaming machine...
but i really like to game on it. civ5 and europa universalis.
the 2010 machine is faster for gaming because of the dedicated graphics card.
better framerate.....

Can Portal 2 run decently on a MBA? I don't want to pay for it and then have 10 frames per second.
I was disappointed how poorly tf2 played. It's such an old game. Portal too. Both had pretty big hiccups. So I'd think those playing cod or portal 2 have pretty low graphics standards.
Tue link above doesn't manage to even cite the correct processor.
Sure I can run around an empty world in tf2 and get 50 fps. But once the fighting starts it drops drastically. Same with the original portal. Projectiles start and things get bad.

Interesting: Of those who have downloaded the bundle, on average, Linux users have paid the most ($11.03), then OS X ($6.36), then Windows ($3.84). Not exactly a small sample size either with over 113,000 downloads.

Ah, ANNO! - Nostalgic, back when I was a 5 year old boy I used to play Anno 1602, the times I had - albeit it would have been easier if someone had actually told me that getting more inhabitants was what released new tech, but I figured that out eventually.
I'll definately download ANNO for my MBA then
