Finally. Braid is now available for the Macintosh platform.
Earlier today, Hothead Games announced the title’s availability via their Mac-friendly digital distribution service, Greenhouse. It’s priced at $14.95 and from what we can tell by the press release, appears to be a straight-up port of title that many of you have been playing on Xbox LIVE Arcade and PC for the last two billion millennia.
We highly suggest you minimize Peggle for a few minutes and give Braid a spin. It’s certainly worth your time.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

The Sims 3 is disappointing, it's not a native port, so I'm not installing that crap on my mac.
Cider is a development library that allows developers to port their games to the Mac. It's a wrapper library that translates Windows system calls to the equivalent Mac system calls. The reason why it sucks is because since it's not technically native (it's based on Wine), it can be very buggy and some of the more advanced graphics features are not supported.
Lucky I've got Bootcamp, but it would be nice to have a game or too on my OSX partition.
Also: PvZ Demo! Whooo!
