You won't find any big names, but if you look for some indie companies such as Pangea Software (old) or Ambrosia software, you could probably find "Mac exclusive" games.

For example, Airburst Extreme is a game that is OS X only, and no other platform.
Alternatively, Modern Combat: Domination is a game that is for OS X and PS3, but not for Windoze.

That certainly could have had a happier ending...

Yes by Mac-exclusive, I mean it can only be played on a Mac. It's pretty easy to play PC games and I'm sort of a rookie when it comes to Mac, so I'm looking for games that I won't find elsewhere. Indie games are fine as long as it's a good time consumer.
Although I am looking for titles that are a little more serious. Not those cartoony games. Anymore titles? With a bit more detail on the game if I may ask. Thanks guys.

What I meant by PC games being easy to play is that I don't have any problems looking for games there. The reason is I just want to play games that I've never seen or heard of before. Since I'm fairly new on Mac, I've never played games that are or were made only for Mac. I could been missing out on a great game that was Mac-only for all I know.
Simply want a different flavor, that's all.

There is a collection of Mac exclusives if so. Might as well plug my own game while I'm at it.
Come to think of it, it would be kind of fun compiling a list of Mac only games and would come in handy if you see someone complain that the Mac only gets ports.

On the original topic. The mac used to have exclusives but given that it has a small marketshare and you can easily writw game logic and even graphics in cross platform compatible code and then just UI and IO code nayive there is little reason not to go multiplatform even if you start the game as mac only.
In the olden days my windows using friends were mostly interested in seeing Marathon and Escape Velocity ported to little avail till years later.
Why do you care so much about seeing Mac exclusive games?
Anyone who could be making interesting mac exclusive games now a days is doing it for iOS. It's much more lucrative.
