I don't know if anyone has noticed this yet, but there's a new little link at the very top of this page: "Mac Games Arcade".

Basically, this seems to be more or less what originally was planned for Aspyr's Gamerhood (which then turned out to be the crappy GameAgent): a stand-alone iTunes style application to buy games not completely unlike Steam.

Looks like MGA will support far more games though, than just a smidge of hand-picked games. Its a nice thing for casual gamers. Since Apple is so anti-gaming in their own endeavors, I guess someone had to step up and make a app version of a mac game store :D

I still don't have a new version of it, therefore Mac Games Arcade is still broken for me.

P.S. I am sure you guys are onto it, but I thought that maybe I should say in on the forums anyway. :)

Not sure what "it" is. Beta 118 was just released, if that helps. It runs great for me, there are lots of little bugs though.

"IT" was in the beta email sent to accepted beta testers. Please look to that email for further details. If you didn't receive the latest email, then PM tuncer over on the MGA forums and he will set you up.

Great little app.

they should throw AAA game demos in there however, just to wet everyone's appetite for them

Are you saying that that Bob the Builder Can Do Zoo isn't an AAA title?

Sacrilege.

Some of those DDLs are actually really freakin fun. I love mixing some of those in with the heavy-gpu-hog type games. I can only stand so much photorealism with lacking gameplay before I want to play something with good gameplay and simple graphics. :D
