As for EA, the publisher announced plans to bring a number of its hit titles to the Mac OS X platform for the first time, starting next month. This summer gamers can look forward to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Need for Speed Carbon, Battlefield 2142 and Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars.
"We're thrilled that the world's number one games company is making this major commitment to the Mac," added Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "Game fans are going to love playing these new EA titles on a Mac."
New?
I only see one new title on that list.

Publishers are still ignoring the Mac. These aren't even native ports. They just use Cider to run the Windows version of the game. Found this at the Transgaming website while downloading Cedega on my Ubuntu box.
