The History of Mac Games [video]
There’s both good and bad to be found here. Good, in that a ambitious fellow named applemctom put together a rather impressive video of The History of Mac Games. Bad, in that it’s only 2 minutes and 12 seconds long. But the guy pretty much nails it, at least to the best of my memory. Mario Teaches Typing 2 isn’t mentioned, but “... one of Apple’s biggest failures ever” is. Care to hazard a guess?

Appletell reviews LEGO Batman for Mac OS X
LEGO Batman is not just a retread of the series. Although the mechanics and graphics are basically the same as LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Indiana Jones, there’s enough differentiation to make it worthwhile.

Appletell reviews Braid for Mac OS X
Braid is different in a decent way. It is nice to see game developers think outside the box and create a more involved game that will take some time to finish. However, in my opinion, games should be somewhat more exciting.
Frustrated Mac gamer? Turn to E3 for guidance
These are dark days for Mac gamers. Despite our surge of growth in the PC market, we haven’t seen similar growth in the number of top tier games coming to our beloved system. In fact, it’s quite the opposite, as many stalwart Mac developers spend less time creating Mac games,… Continue Reading »
Appletell exclusive: LittleWing pinball heading to the iPhone, iPod touch [updated]
Last month, I launched a new Appletell series about games we’d love to see on the iPhone. My first article focused on LittleWing Co. Ltd. and their history of outstanding pinball games for the Mac. LittleWing and pinball seem a perfect match for the iPhone, after all. Good news, everyone;… Continue Reading »

Appletells reviews Black and White 2 for Mac OS X
I hated the original Black and White. I found it to be a God game where you were the servant of the people, with confusing controls that were focused solely on rubbing cow tummies. Something has changed with Black and White 2 (BW2), and it’s probably me, because the game… Continue Reading »
Final weekend for pirate booty Appletell game giveaway
Pirates are bad. They steal. They kill people. They’ve got horrible hygiene. It’s just not a pleasant thing. But that hasn’t stopped Hollywood and the gaming industry from glamorizing them, and why should it? I’m guessing sword fighting skeletons would be nasty in real life, too, but that doesn’t mean… Continue Reading »
Appletell giveaway: Pirate games for Mac OS X
Pirates have sure made a comeback, huh? No longer relegated to goofy musicals and crazy notions like the idea that Geena Davis could ever be a respected ship captain, pirates are now back where they should be: the subject of big budget action movies and sexy Halloween costumes for the… Continue Reading »
MacSoft bundling more board games for the Mac
Hey, remember MacSoft? I think I do, too. They were this kick-butt Mac gaming company, and then they fell in with the Destineer crowd, and then suddenly stopped hanging around with us. Well, they’re now back at the door, but is it with the Unreal Tournament 3 game they promised… Continue Reading »
Appletell reviews Myst for iPhone and iPod touch
Anybody who remembers the days of the Macintosh clones, Motorola 86xx processors, or the dreaded Performa will likely remember playing Myst when it first came out. And what a great memory; Myst was one of the first games that truly showcased the power of then-new CD-ROM technology. By packing in… Continue Reading »
Appletell reviews Moog vs. The Aliens for Mac OS X
In Moog vs. the Aliens, you play Moog, tasked with hunting for food. But if that job wasn’t difficult enough, a few aliens and other animals have decided they’d like to kill Moog before he kills anything to take home for food. I’m sure we’ve all been in a similar… Continue Reading »
“Criterion Collection” video game covers
If you’re a design geek like me, one of the fun memes that’s been running around is to take albums, books, and now, video games, and redesign them in the style of The Criterion Collection. Using start imagery (which may or may not actually come from the movie) and juxtaposing… Continue Reading »
