    what games do everyone exclusively running OS X play? I only have Trine 2, Diablo 3 and FTL actually on my mac right now, with a bunch of humble bundle stuff on a hard drive. I've found the steam store to be really limited, and stuff isn't even available there that's on the mac app store, like Bioshock, but it's way overpriced on the app store. so yeah I guess I'm looking to get some more games and wondered what everyone else is playing

    I have over 100 on the Steam store. I know you said you found the library wanting but there are some good games like KOTOR.
     
    Also, check out GOG. They have an expanding library of Mac games being released and their installer client works amazingly well with WINE. I've been playing Infinity Engine games, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Medal of Honour, and even Legend of Grimrock on my Mac by emulating it.

    I just bought VVVVVV from the App store (I originally bought it on Steam but the App store version is it's own standalone app which is nice). It's good, it's also cheap and hangs around in the background easily enough.

    I got it on GOG and installed the with WINE (This was prior to GOG having Mac stuff). I just cleaned out old WINE bottles and that's how I remember. I'm not exactly up to speed on what has been ported to Mac and Linux lately other than the stuff in my Steam Linux Library.
