Confession: I am not a computer gamer.
But the reality is that I eat, breathe and sleep marketing (and metrics) for a company that is constantly striving to bring the best PC Windows games to Mac and Linux.
With that, I understand that video games are extremely valuable, especially this time of year. So I asked the wonderful souls at CodeWeavers for game suggestions, and compiled a handy list to help you through the holidays. Whether you are looking to escape (your relatives), foster a sense of belonging, pass time, have fun, generate stress relief, create mental stimulation or connect with family and friends, there is a Windows game on Mac with CrossOver for that. And hey! If you feel inclined to help your fellow gamers, add your suggestions in the comments. And remember folks, you can always check our compatibility database to see if the Windows game you want to run on Mac works with CrossOver. Even better, we offer a free two week trial of CrossOver.
