Mac users will be able to download Portal, Football Manager 2010 and Torchlight at launch, with more titles added every Wednesday.
"We're very excited to be bringing Torchlight to the Mac," said Max Schaefer, co-founder of Runic Games, the company behind the title. "Having Steam for the Mac solves so many problems for us as a developer."

It’s still not a compelling reason to dump my G5. I had to bite the bullet and buy an Intel iMac in order to get Leopard since my G4 was too slow. So now I have decent hardware . . . for yet a little longer.

Wouldn’t worry about it. Portal runs like crap on my Mac. Most people are reporting if they boot into windows with boot camp it runs great, but sucks on OSX.
