I have played Halo on the 1.25 Ghz Mac Mini (NOT MINE!!) with 512 ram and it worked just fine.

| IMHO, Halo is the best FPS available that runs well on a Mini. The key is variety, as in lots of weapons, lots of maps, lots of gametypes, lots of players, etc. You can't really beat that! |

| I like AA (especially since it's free), but it's difficult to seyup a server on a Mac, and you're prety much limited to a bit more 'serious' type of gameplay. With Halo, you can do stuff like AA (given a big enough map, etc.), or you can very easily just goof around. |

I'm not sure what you mean by that? Basically if you're Mini is running Tiger, you can install Halo, and that's all you need. If you feel a little adventurous, you can overclock the ATI card in the Mini to squeeze some higher video capabilities out of Halo, but it's not a neccessity. |

Close, but the real winner is RoCW: Enemy Territory. Doesn't run too hot on my Mini, but mine's 1st gen, and doesn't have extra VRAM.

Also, Halo is a decent game. It was a spectacularly awesome console game just because console game FPSs lag PC ones in quality and stuff. Though this same reasononing may make it a "damn good game" for Macs, sadly.
