OpenEmu is about to change the world of video game emulation. One console at a time. For the first time, the 'It just works' philosophy now extends to open source video game emulation on the Mac. With OpenEmu, it is extremely easy to add, browse, organize and with a compatible gamepad, play those favorite games (ROMs) you already own. The only MMORPGs Mac users can usually play are browser MMORPGs, but after Googling around for a bit, I learned that some client based MMORPGs are also Mac compatible. Below is a list of all Mac compatible MMORPGs that run on OS X: Savage 2. A Unique MMORTS published by S2 Games. The game blends RPG elements as well as RTS elements.
I gotta agree with HateEternal, its a bit odd to use a pad with a FPS on a mac. For consoles, FPS games tend to respond to controls differently on consoles, wih some level of auto aim and bigger hit-boxes. The PC and Mac versions tend to require more accurate aiming as this is possible with the mouse-keyboard combination. Whats likely to happen with a pad on mac Halo is that you won't be able to hit anything.
If you do want a pad, for this or other games, I have an iShockII which works fine with OSX. One note of warning on this pad though, i bought it to use with Tony Hawks 4, for which it is a dismal failure as it is almost impossible to hit a direction without in some way tapping the other directions (for thps players this means you cannot reliably manual). On THPS4, which is dependent on key combos, this means you cannot complete many of the tasks. I'm also going to confirm that the iShock II is way too sensitive to be used at all. I was trying to use it to play ToP for my SNES emu and when I was just walking around towns or dungeons my character would suddenly start moving up or down because my finger had gravitated slightly one way or the other while holding left or right.
Other speed intensive games were also really hard to play. It was really disapointing since I was hoping it would've been an improvement over the iShock I. I just recently got a PSX to USB adapter so I could use a REAL playstation controller for my emus.
Works much better, and was half the price of the iShock II when I bought it(since I already have a Playstation controller).
Macs Fan Control allows you to monitor and control almost any aspect of your computer's fans, with support for controlling fan speed, temperature sensors pane, menu-bar icon, and autostart with system option. Software solution to noise problems such as those caused by iMac HDD replacement, or overheating problems like those found on a MacBook Pro. Set any constant value to any fan (e.g., minimum). Control fan speed in relation to a temperature sensor (e.g., 3rd party HDD).

I was overheating to the point of shutdown, but my fans remained at idle speed at all times, even after SMC and NVRAM resets. Macs Fan Control worked beautifully with High Sierra and Snow Leopard (dual-boot disk). The app lets you monitor the temperature of all sensors (MBP 6.2 has 12) and then control the fan speeds. The app allowed me to discover that the GPU diode temp sensor was only working intermittently, which likely explains why the SMC stopped controlling the fans.
Now I can control each fan independently with a working sensor of your choosing or set them manually. The app also lets you revert to auto mode, which returns control to the SMC, which is of no use in my case. On a side-note, I also found that replacing the thermal grease on the GPU and CPUs helped a lot (used Arctic MX-4).
