While recuperating, I recently considered perhaps grabbing a game for my Macbook.
Browsing the shelves at the Apple Store San Francisco reveals lots of good looking and interesting games,

Civilization 4 is a game that allows you to develop a civilization from the stone age to the space age, sounds like fun and most importantly, is a universal binary(meaning it runs at full speed(natively) on older macs(pre 2006) and brand new macs).
Another good looking Mac Game is

X-Plane looks to be the most advanced Flight simulator available on any platform, After mastering every kind of flying machine in every environment around the world, you’re able to create your own scenarios and Aeroplanes.
The sequel to the best selling game of all time ‘The Sims’ is
The Sims 2 is a Dollhouse taken to the computer, a player creates, controls every detail of their character down to personality. The player then builds them a house, gets them a job, helps them get promoted (by educating, amusing and finding love) for them. This formula worked incredibly in the first Sims and the Sims 2 essentially adds superior graphics, extra features and most importantly, the ability to procreate and see the parents genes come to life in the kids and grandkids.

All these games were noticable to me for one reason, they all have the “Universal symbol”

on their box, the fact that these are Top games and are some of the first to become Universal is not a coincidence, being top selling games, their parent companies have the funds to develop Universal editions of their games relatively quickly.
If buying games for my Macs, I’ll only buy Universal games, I’m a huge fan of Rosetta(the software in Intel Macs) that allows older games(Non Universal) to run, I’d simply prefer to grab software thats designed for the Intel Mac.
