    The system requirements say it's for Windows, it can't run on in OS X. May I ask, if you have a Macbook why do want us to test it for you?
    You can install Windows and run it that way.

    Yes, Parallels and VMware Fusion are virtualization softwares for Intel based Macs like the Macbook. These programs run for roughly $70-80 U.S. These programs are utilities that allow you to install a copy of Windows XP SP2 or Vista onto your Mac. You will be able to continue to have full access to your Mac desktop while running Windows applications.

    There's another utility called Crossover Mac which will allow you to run Windows applications without the need to install Windows but it's limited on what programs that are supported. It does support 3D games very well but again it's limited. You can check out all of these utilities here:
