Is there any reason to use Crossover Games instead of Pro (on Mac) or its the same? (i'm talking about installing mostly games)

If so, is there any way to migrate bottles from Pro to Games?

Thanks!

Crossover Games has quite a few patches and hacks specific to a number of supported, graphically intensive games. You will experience worse performance for many games in Pro. Likewise, CX Games will handle MS Office, Quicken, and the like noticeably worse than CX games.

I recommend using CX Games for games, and CX Pro for non-gaming applications. Each installs and uses its own bottles, and you'll want to leave it that way for optimal performance.

I have a follow up question. I purchased Crossover Pro 8 for mac and when it took me to the "my downloads" page I downloaded both the Professional version and Crossover Games for mac. When I opened and installed the Crossover Pro it seemed normal but when I installed crossover games it said it is a demo and only good for 7 days. The Professional version however said that crossover games was included. How do I get the non-demo version of crossover games?

Just use the register button and enter in your email address that you purchased Pro with and it'll register it.

CX Games is always downloaded in demo form, even from a user's "My Downloads" section. Pro users should be able to register any demo of CX Games, as abeta notes above.
