OSx360 is a useful tool for burning Xbox 360 games to DVDs. Note that it’s intended for “test purposes only”, at the moment. This app looks great from my initial view, and is very impressive. It can also verify your games’ ISO images to make sure that everything is correctly formatted. Mac OS X Tiger and up.

BetterZip Quick Look Generator is a great Quick Look plugin that lets you look inside a zip file without unzipping it. It can be really nice for when you have a huge file, but only want to see what’s in it. The plugin is also very well laid out. Great job, developer!
