I'll briefly mention that there is another player in this space, Transgaming, but unlike Codeweavers, they forked off Wine and aren't donating code back upstream to Wine, so if you need to choose, it seems as if supporting Codeweavers seems like a better option from the moral point of view, as Codeweavers do donate back to Wine. Also, Transgaming's Cedega product doesn't allow users running unaltered Windows games on Mac, only on Linux. They don't offer Cedega for Mac; they have Cider, but that's not a runtime but rather a library that developers need to link against to produce Mac-runnable versions of their games written against the Win32 API. So in reality, CrossOver is the only solution for running a Windows game natively under Mac OS X. Fortunately, it seems to be a good one.
