If u live in the UK most of the EA games are not available just yet :’( or at least I cant find them any where!

Also if you use bootcamp and start in windows then you can play anything that’s within your MacBooks spec range

Technically your macbok cant play games by itself, but you can play the games on the macbook.

The MacBook is poor for modern games. The integrated Intel GMA 950 only has 64 Mb RAM and is slow for gaming.

Your Mac's Specs
15" MBP '06 2.33 C2D 4GB 10.7; 13" MBA '14 1.8 i7 8GB 10.11; 21" iMac '13 2.9 i5 8GB 10.11; 6S
The MacBook is adequate for pretty much any games except those that require 3D acceleration.
My wife plays games like Luxor, Jewel Quest, Bejeweled and the like just fine on her MB. Most of these only require about 16MB video cards so the MB will handle them admirably.
Check out Gamehouse
And for all kinds of gaming info go to Apple and check out the "Resources" links at the bottom left for a wealth of info. Am sure you can find some interesting games there.

I have even had very good luck with Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City. Doom III though only was playable with everything turned all the way down. Bobtomay is correct, anything that really needs 3D acceleration will not be very good.

Tbh if you are interested in games you would need to look at a MBP, which can play a lot of games at good spec btw

I heard about the EA games for Mac. A great addition to the Mac's gaming line up.

Click to expand...

WoW is a low/mid spec game that was made back in 2004, it is in no way new or classed as high spec, try something like BioShock and tell me how your MacBook copes
