[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1058074, member: 24098"] Two options - CrossOver is an implementation of an API translation layer called WINE that can sometimes run Windows software. The trouble is, it's hit-or-miss, it works with some software, but not with others. Sometimes it will work with a package, but only partially. And when we're talking about games with heavy hardware requirements, the last thing you want to do is have a layer of abstraction in software. So, in short, it's a crap shoot. The better option is to run Windows natively on your Mac. Boot Camp is a feature that guides you through partitioning your hard drive and installing Windows. But you will need to bring your own copy of Windows to do that. [/QUOTE]
