Heh... Well, it's not like the Mac is overflowing with great games as it is, but yeah, I don't suppose this will help.

As I've mentioned before, I've almost completely stopped gaming on the Mac in favor of the 360. I know there are a lot of wii and PS fans too. I think Apple needs to get a serious clue from this and open up an App store for the Mac which does games as well. I seem to recall Ryan Gordon suggested that a while back. I disagreed with it back then, but I've completely changed my mind now that I've seen how it works for the iPhone. I think the DRM scheme, and the micropayments, and the fact that there's one store to go to, could actually be a big win for indie Mac game developers and users alike.

As far as game ideas on the iPhone, personally, I think some kind of Zelda-ish top-down adventure could be really fun on the iPhone. I've been thinking about one myself for a future title.
