I'm not sure how many of the regulars have not heard about this. But I'm just trying to spread the joy.
Sorry if what follows comes across as a bit biased, but I honestly feel that this is one of the best things to happen to mac gaming in quite some time.
So without further ado:
Steam now has a mac client (direct link to .dmg)
And they are giving away Portal, for Free (as in beer). Offer good until the 24th.
If you already have a steam account, you probably already know. And if you don't this is very good reason to be sucked in.
And the coolest thing (at least in my opinion): If you own a copy of a game on the pc, and they are making it available on the mac, you get it on the mac. No extra charge.
Obviously not all games are going to be ported, but anything that is running on the source engine (portal, team fortress 2, half life 2, etc) is already ported or in the process of being done.
A word of warning though. They have sales most weekends that make it very hard not to separate money from wallet. (right now torchlight is $10, it will probably stay this way until sunday.)
