I've been using Game Ranger for several years now and it works as advertised. Buying Gold or Silver service adds a lot to the games it supports such as voice. Evill (the developer) isn't as responsive as he could be but he does aggressively work issues and resolve them in a timely manner (with one exception).

All in all, this is a great program for mac.

The developer trolls the chat rooms as user "evill" looking for people to argue with, 1v1 with, etc. then ban them when they do not kiss his butt. Avoid GameRanger and then man-child developer.
