Online multiplayer for Mac?

My buddy has a Mac. I know nothing about them. I want to buy him a cool FPS that he and I can also use to hook up online and blow each other's brains out. (I owe him a belated Xmas present.) Any cool suggestions on what's available for him?

I was being kind of cheeky with the response as those games are from the mid 90's, but I think Marathon 2 was available for PC, Marathon Infinity there's probably some hack out there to play on PC if you scour the web, there were a bunch of mods/hacks out for it. Problem with most Mac games is that they get them like a couple of years after PC... if he has an Intel-based Mac have him run boot camp and get whatever PC game you want to play, most will run fine that way. Otherwise go for Quake 4 I'd say... maybe someone else will have suggestions.

Sorry I missed the cheeky. Been feeling a little under the weather and I'm not so sharp today. Thanks for the suggestions...

Apple does offer newer games, as much as us PC users like to tease Mac gamers. Check out this list: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPL...e/action_games
