Recommend Game for Air 13

Does Trine work on the 2011 Air? It looks like it wouldn't...

There are some excellent games on the Mac app store that play great and you won't be obsessing about frame rates.

Jolly Rodger
Evac
Trine
Angry Birds
Braid
Anomaly
Machinarium
Plants v Zombies
Secret of Monkey Island
Penny Arcade : Preciples of Darkness
Peggle
Luxor
U-Boot
Chopper 2
And Yet It Moves
Osmos
Amnesia




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.

I played Portal 2 on a 2010 MBA - it was fine.

So did they use the same engine for the second one, or a better optimized engine? I think we should quantify fine, and settings.

A) playing natively
b) playing with textures set to ???
c) lighting set to ???

etc.

Happy to hear if there are some settings I can adjust, because it's not so smooth sailing on the first one even.. and usually games get more demanding in the series, not less.

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.

Thanks for answering.
