Peter Cohen and Chris Holt from Macworld have posted a simplistic look at Mac gaming in 2009:
Circumstances can change very quickly in the world of gaming. This time last year, for example, you didn’t hear from too many game developers when it came to their iPhone plans—there wasn’t even an SDK to plan for 12 months ago. And yet, mobile gaming turned out to be all the rage in 2008. Some would say that just proves attempting to predict where a market is headed is a foolhardy proposition. We say we’re just the fools to undertake the job.
I don’t mean to be a finicky arse here, but the article basically states that there’ll be more of some things and less of others. Not exactly an in depth prediction.
I had a chat with Jon Parshall, Chief Operating Officer of CodeWeavers, about their marvelous product CrossOver for Mac. Based on Wine, CrossOver allows Windows applications (including games) to run under Mac and Linux without Windows. In contrast to solutions like VMWare and Parallels that use an installed, genuine version of Windows, CrossOver is an implementation of the technologies in Windows. CrossOver doesn’t load a second operating system alongside your current operating system, just what is needed to make a program work.
