    I apologize if this question has been asked before but I have a Counter Strike Source CDs sitting here on my shelf and I would like to play it on my 'future' Macbook.
    Is there anyway to install it on Mac OS X and play the game... or would I have to install Windows XP in BootCamp in order to play CS: Source?

    you can absolutely play in osx using crossover games.

    you wont get anything like the performance in bootcamp with windows, but it will be legitimately playable on lowish settings and resolution.

    i have played css competitively using crossover. i dont know how i feel about it in retrospect.
