Oh yeah! C&C 3 Tiberium Wars + Kane’s Wrath is an awesome strategy game and it works great in the Portingkit (Origin version of the game). Simply download the Portingkit below and download the “C&C 3 Tiberian Wars + Kane’s Wrath” game download button in the Library server tab. This will automatically create the port and including installation of the Windows Origin into that port. Then It will be a matter of login –> download and install the game. I used the Command and Conquer Ultimate Collection version which contains an Origin serial you can add/activate in Origin. If the Gamersgate link says “not priced” (non-US) use this link… Enjoy!
Note:
There are 2 bugs in Origin where you have to to some manual actions.
1. Turn off the “Ingame Origin” + “Automatic game update” in the Origin preferences (select box).
2. Installation won’t end, so if you see “installing” for a few minutes. Quit Origin and Start the game again and the game will launch.
Game description:
Tiberium Wars takes place in the year 2047, at the advent of and during the “Third Tiberium War” when the Brotherhood of Nod launches a worldwide offensive against the Global Defense Initiative, abruptly ending 17 years of silence and temporarily crippling GDI. With the odds tipped in the Brotherhood’s favor this time, GDI field commanders rally their troops and begin to combat Nod’s second re-emergence, trying to restore lost hope. In the middle of it all, a new playable faction appears: the alien Scrin.

Longtime Apple fans know that when Steve Jobs speaks, you had better listen closely. The WWDC 07 Keynote was no exception. In this case, the topic was gaming, and the news sounded great.
'Next up, got some great news about games: EA, number one publisher of games, is coming back to the Mac in a big way.'
Best Mac Games
Unfortunately, as Bill Clinton might say regarding games not involving any personal technology, it depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. Electronic Arts is indeed releasing several titleson the Mac during 2007, but without getting too metaphysical, there is the question of what a Mac game 'is.' The EA games will not be ports and will not be native to the platform. Instead, EA will make use of technology licensed from TransGaming called Cider.
Cider is a sophisticated portability engine that allows Windows games to be run on Intel Macs without any modifications to the original game source code. Cider works by directly loading a Windows program into memory on an Intel-Mac and linking it to an optimized version of the Win32 APIs. Games are 'wrapped' with the Cider engine and they simply run on the Mac.
If the implications aren't obvious, why should companies like Aspyr work to port Windows games to the Mac, when all one needs is de facto emulation? After all, unlike other types of software, a game offers up its own unique experience, including a user interface. There is no 'Mac Way' to be missed within Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. However, it's likely there will be at least some performance hit playing a game under Cider technology versus a native version. Don't count on that saving 'true' Mac gaming. Included with Boot Camp in Leopard may be technology that will likely render Cider as obsolete as Cider makes native ports.
That's right, no pesky restarts to get into Windows. Instead, the Apple menu will have a 'Restart into Windows' option, which will put your Mac into a 'safe sleep' state, then boot Windows. Over on the other side, you'll be able to Hibernate your Windows install, then switch back to OS X right where you left off.
Combine this with Intel Turbo Memory, the technology formerly known as Robson, and you may see the equivalent of Fast User Switching for operating systems. Plus you get the entirety of the Windows gaming universe, not just what EA and other companies deem to wrap in Cider. Given the reality of the technology, it's difficult to see the future of gaming on the Mac the way it has been in the past, but is that really such a bad thing?
Mac gaming is dead. Long live gaming on a Mac.
