I can’t even remember ever seeing a game that is exclusive to Mac… unless you perhaps count Chess that comes installed already…

Not to rain on your parade, but from what I remember Chess is actually a port of some open-source version of chess.

I don’t suppose there was any mention about why the AP Mobile News “web app” screenshots, actually look like screen shots from their native app, and nothing like the web app that the public can access? Or am I missing something?

ArtOfWarfare – Absolutely. I was most surprised to see Enigmo, as there’s a boatload of innovation and new game designers coming out of the woodwork with the iPhone SDK, and Enigmo for the iPhone is IDENTICAL to its mac cousin.

Jack – The last five, just after Best iPhone Web App.

ArtOfWarfare: Enigmo is native, isnt it? its “port” from mac os x, but iPhone is too os x…

and GH3 is not a port using wine… Aspyr is making “native” ports – but yeah, port is still a port

They awarded both of the best game awards… to ports.

Seriously, I would expect them to be more supportive of the native Mac OS X games that didn’t just use wine. Besides… C&C and GH are both way over rated if you ask me. But then alas… we live in a world without the amazing program Steam being native on Mac and so we have so few games available.
