Hey Pete, Check out this blog – http://afterdarkgaming.wordpress.com/
He liked one of my blogs where I gave some troubleshooting help on Arcelia Island. I checked his blog and it's all your kind of games. quite visually graphic. And one on another guy who's created his own game. Interesting. 😀

Wow – sounds great. thanks – I'll let you know how I get on. 😀

Some do — they'll specifically note if there's a Mac version. If a game is marked as "SteamPlay", too, if you buy the Mac version you get the PC version free, and vice versa.

Thanks so much Pete. I'll have a proper look at it and then download the software. Do they work on Mac as well?

Steam is probably the most well-known and trusted online store for PC games. They tend to carry most of the big releases and a decent selection of lesser-known indie stuff, and they're usually very reasonably priced.

Right now, they're doing one of their regular sales, which are usually incredibly generous affairs that discount individual titles by up to 75%.

They're a store that sells other people's stuff (though the operators, Valve, sell their own games such as Half-Life and Portal through it too) so it's not the same as going directly to a publisher, but the main advantage of it is that it's a good means of collecting all your PC games together in one convenient place — any games you purchase from Steam get added to a "Library", from which you can choose which games to play at any time, from any computer you have the Steam software installed on. There's no "membership" or anything — you just pay for what you buy.

There's also a social component — you can add friends, talk with them and show what you're playing at any one time, even while you're running a game.

If you're at all interested in PC games from a variety of developers and publishers, it is probably the best place to look.
