Hi,
Probably getting a Macbook Pro 2011 model 13" base model this weekend.
My question is about its gaming capabilities. I want to know what the limits are for it, I am not a serious gamer but like to play some games on the weekend.
The ones I am interested in and please also tell me whether they are mac compatible (without booting windows) on the 13" model.

Command and Conquer 3
COD Modern Warfare 2
Starcraft II
Age of Empires Asian Dynasties

Some I am unsure of mac compatiblity (please tell me if they are)
Assasins Creed Brotherhood
Fallout 3 or New Vegas.

Yeah so if they do work on Mac, how well? I want to have at least 3 games on it.

Thanks in advance,
Ebby.

them games will run okay on low settings. maybe medium at a push. :)

Age of Empires 3 & Starcraft 2 are the ones I have, I think CnC 3 has a mac port, but it will be far more expensive than the windows version.

I dont think Fallout NV is OSX compatible.

the rest are, I am unsure about ACB.

My main concern is COD followed by Starcraft II. When you say low or medium settings, is that something me, being a first time COD player and 14 yo going to really impact on me? I want to play online.

None of those should give you trouble running on lower settings. I'm not sure about compatibility, but I'm sure Google could tell you! ;)
