Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty is a strategy game played in real-time. You see the action from a top-down perspective and command your armies to gain control of the battlefield and ultimately defeat your opponents. The game's single-player campaign focuses on the terrans, but you can play multiplayer matches as any of the three StarCraft II races: the terrans, the protoss, or the zerg.
Each race has access to unique units; these units fill specific roles on the battlefield. Combining different units to form versatile armies is one path to victory.
The most basic units at your command are your workers. They harvest the resources you need to expand your base and to add more units to your growing army, and your workers also create new buildings. More advanced units become available once your base meets certain requirements, such as having constructed certain buildings or researched certain technologies.
In multiplayer matches, you win the game when you've wiped all your enemy's buildings off the map or if the other players surrender to you.
In typical real-time strategy games, players build armies and vie for control of the battlefield. The armies in play can be as small as a single squad of marines or as large as a full-blown planetary invasion force. As commander, you observe the battlefield from a top-down perspective and issue orders to your units in real time. Strategic thinking is key to success; you need to gather information about your opponents, anticipate their moves, outflank their attacks, and formulate a winning strategy.

Forcing you to be on BattleNet to play a single player skirmish game against computer AI is a bit harsh. Multiplayer? Sure go for it, but 1P skirmish should not require it.

Bu yeah, I'm not a graphics developer. Would be a good explanation why the same game runs so much slower on the same hardware on the Mac than on Windows (we did quite a bit of testing and this is typically the case, with both Windows and OS X using OpenGL drivers).
Indeed, it would make more sense for Invidia to provide Apple with the drivers, but maybe Apple changes them somehow to fit their proprietary platform. So maybe the better question is not who *makes* the drivers, but rather who *breaks* them? Dunno.. :-)

On the Windows side of things AMD releases monthly driver updates for their Radeon series of graphics cards, no wonder they are better tuned. Why can't we see drivers getting more frequent updates on Mac OS X?

How can you be so certain it's Apple that does the drivers?
Just because the new drivers are released by Apple in the Mac OS X updates it doesn't mean Apple makes them. I'm quite sure it's the graphic card companies that does the drivers. They are the one who best know how to do it and also they have some drivers for Mac OS X on their sites. http://www.nvidia.com/object/Quadro_MacOSX_18.5.2f16.html

And again, no... Apple does not make the drivers for the NVIDIA cards... NVIDIA does.
