I just saw that the Mac version of Braid launched today. It's a native port (no emulation). And apparently you can try a free demo before buying. http://www.playgreenhouse.com/game/NNONE-000001-01

Wow that's awesome. Checking out the demo because the trailer looks really promising, and it's a native game! Now that's a game worth trying out.

Downloaded the demo immediately. Will buy the whole version later. It came out much faster than I expected :)

Hi guys how did you open the demo?
I downloaded it but have no idea on how to open it. It just opens a dialogue window that requires authorization.
BTW great game, I already did the full 200 points on Xbox 360, now I want to try it out on my Mac.

I got this game for the 360 a while back and it's great. Not "woah game of the year" but definitely something new to play. Definitely give the demo a shot, especially if you like puzzle games.

does not look all that great....Apple pushed the new unibodys
as the "mobile gamer laptop" Games have been lackluster thus far
imo...only a few bright spots but overall new games release for the
mac have been hit or miss I like Flatout 2,COD4,Tomb raider Anniversary,
and the shaun white games looks decent......
Other than that a complete let down.....Itouch/Iphone games seem
to get more focus. I should not have to use crossover or whatever
to play GOOD games on my mac.
