Mac Duel Boot or Steam?

I got a Mac laptop to do my graphic design work on, but I miss all the PC games I played on my old Windows PC.

SO here's my question:

which is better: duel booting to run Windows on my Mac? -or- download Steam for Mac?

Obligatory: dual*

If you want to play windows only games then you'll need to dual boot, but many games are available for mac on Steam now, so you'll just have to check the games you want.

Be wary though, some games - such as the Total War series - do not support cross-platform play so you won't be able to play with Windows friends.

That seems odd, but good catch.

If you can deal with reboots go Dual Boot if not get steam on Mac. Better yet get both and only use the Windows one when you have to. Other wise just use what is available on Mac.
