" If Tomb Raider, Indiana Jones and other action-adventure movies are your kind of thing, then consider Uncharted to be liquid win. It's really hard to not like the Uncharted games. MGS4, Heavenly Sword and Little Big Planet are three more exclusives one can pick up dirt cheap now. "
Thanks for the replies. I've been doing my gaming on a PS3 but there's a new baby in the house, so I can't be squirreled away in the Man Cave playing Killzone 2 all evening ... Just wondered what my portable options were.
Looks like I'll just have to let gaming drop off for a couple of decades!
Edit: just re-read this and realised it sounds like I'm complaining about having a baby. Nothing could be further from the truth!
Thanks, but I'm definitely getting a Macbook of some kind. I know I could do better gaming-wise with a Windows machine, but I'm not willing to give up OS X just to get some games in on the go. I'm just afraid of spending all that extra money to get a machine that, while being much better than it's little brother, is still fairly hopeless.
I'm buying a new Macbook soon and was thinking of springing for a 15" model with a 9600m GPU (as opposed to the much cheaper 13" with a 9400m). Can anybody with personal experience tell me how the 9600 would stack up against a PS3, which is my only other reference point? At native resolution (1400 x 900), what are we talking about - graphics that are 20% as good as a PS3? 50%? Not even worth equating? I haven't a clue (obviously).
I know this is a vague and wishy-washy question and these things aren't easily quantifiable. But I've never seen a MBP running games in Boot Camp and Youtube videos are too low-res to be trustworthy. If the 9600 was hilariously pathetic next to the PS3, I know I'd never use it and would have wasted a lot of cash. I'd really appreciate some advice!
