On the contrary, even without booting to Windows, the games available for the OS X are quite numerous and thanks to both Apple's own App Store and Valve's Steam, Mac owners can now turn their Mac into a gaming computer—albeit one with a limited library of good games. With that in mind, we've compiled a list of first person shooters, or FPS titles that run natively on the Mac OS X. You can pick any of these games up through Valve's Steam platform or through the App Store.

Note: If your file is encoded with MPEG2 or AC3, see for reference. To check which audio codec your file is encoded with, see for reference. If you open the file and there is no video: • The file may be corrupt • The video codec is not supported with QuickTime or you're missing a video codec.
