Long story short, my friend wants to play this game and his computer is an Ibook G4. What would he need to download to get this game on it, and will it work at all?

    3 Methods:

    Boot Camp - this is perfect performance but you have to dual boot into windows (restarting the laptop)
    Crossover Games - this uses a pretty fast windows emulator although there are a few graphical glitches
    Parallels Desktop - this runs a copy of windows on a virtual machine (windows is installed on emulated hardware) no graphical glitches but performance is only moderate

    Doesn't work on old PPC Mac's like the G4
    Crossover Games - this uses a pretty fast windows emulator although there are a few graphical glitches
    This im also pretty certain does not, but in any case it does work well
    Parallels Desktop - this runs a copy of windows on a virtual machine (windows is installed on emulated hardware) no graphical glitches but performance is only moderate
    Seriously? On a G4? If you really want to run a vm use virtualbox as its free and a lot of people like it more

    In three easy steps:

    1. Sell your mac
    2. Buy a PC
    3. GAMES!
    Bladestorm lets you spin around like a carnival ride and do damage. Not using it is almost like having a move called Confetti Rocket Power Leap and saving it for "emergencies"

    If yes, only need to make the VMWare image of PW or of windows

    you may actually try looking into onlive, which should be coming later this month. Supposedly its going to allow ppl to play any pc games on either pc or mac. I don't know all the specifics but its certainly worth taking a look at. http://www.onlive.com/
