It's great that the iPhone and iPod touch are getting so much support from game developers, but I'd also like to see this happen on the Mac. I think things may start to change though for Mac gaming, there is a shift happening. Apple's push for better graphics on all their products is all about preparing for the coming of Snow Leopard next year, which will have OpenCL and Grand Central. OpenCL takes advantage of the GPU, when normally it would be idle for most task. As a side bonus, Mac gamers will benefit from this push, since all future macs will have relatively strong GPUs, compared to what they previously had. @Mark Crummett – I’m with ya on that one.

I could use a nice flight sim on my desktop. How about porting this to the Mac? I could use a nice flight sim on my desktop.
