I'll kick off the nit-picking ;-)<p>It's got a fake Mac interface (doesn't respect the Graphite appearance preference) and normal copy and paste (⌘C ⌘V) don't work in some/all of the text fields.

Everybody should go download Braid until they release some more games. It is one of the best games you will ever play! The music is amazing, the artwork is fantastic, and it will melt your mind trying to beat it.

Unfortunately it doesn't support case-sensitive drives. I thought (for some stupid reason) since it's a *nix underpinning that it would be best to have case sensitivity last time I formatted.<p>It seems that someone didn't write their paths in a flexible way (windows-like) and you have to reinstall your entire machine to run this.<p>Steam isn't the only one effected however. The Starcraft 2 beta and World of Warcraft also don't support case sensitive volumes.<p>Due to this I'm taking most of my evening and using Carbon Copy Cloner to dupe the drive and restore it as a case insensitive drive. I wish someone could have just done a .to_lower function at the end of their path strings.

I didn't realise the link in the topic would cause a download (I opened it from my RSS reader and was surprised to see a blank tab!). Would you consider adding a [DMG] or similar to the title?

Tried the Steam client on my Mac, Steam.app itself is a bit buggy and quite a resource consuming. The UI feels sluggish even on my i7 iMac, too. For the game itself, Portal works nicely at native resolution at max settings with lower framerate than Windows equivalent on the same machine. I found it surprising that exposé, dashboard, etc. works even in-game.<p>While Magic Mouse works nicely with Portal, I'd rather not to try it on Team Fortress 2 when it's released as it cannot handle simultaneous left/right click.

If you have a case-sensitive filesystem don't bother downloading.

Telegraph is also reporting that a "Linux client will be released in the coming months": <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/7715209/Steam-for-Mac-goes-live.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/7715209/Steam-fo...</a>

World of Goo works! Yeah! This is a seductively simple 2D game that is a lot of fun.

Out of the 102 games I own, only 5 of them can be installed on Mac so far.<p>Good enough for me though. Installing Torchlight, but Steam Cloud didn't transfer my PC characters over.

Are there plans (rumored or confirmed) to release the Half-Life series on the Mac?
