Who says Macs don’t have good games? According to macnn.com Empire at War will be brought the the Mac platform.

Aspyr Media today announced that it is bringing Star Wars: Empire at War (site not updated) to the Mac platform. Star Wars: Empire at War puts the power to command an entire war for the Star Wars galaxy in the hands of players, offering the freedom to determine how the game is played via scalable and accessible gameplay. Set a few years before the events of Episode IV A New Hope, the title allows players to wage war on the ground and in space, as well as experience the creation of the Rebel Alliance, the strengthening of the Empire, and the beginnings of the Galactic Civil War. The software uses an entirely new game engine created by the Las Vegas-based developer Petroglyph, rendering land and space battles set on memorable planets such as Yavin IV, Tatooine, and Dagobah, as well as never-before-seen environments taken directly from the Star Wars films and expanded universe novels, according to Aspyr (pricing, system requirements, and availability were unavailable).
