Love some BioShock? Then get ready for the next installment on the Mac! Today Aspyr Media announced that the upcoming BioShock Infinite will be available on the Mac this summer!

Here’s a brief description of the game:

Indebted to the wrong people, with his life on the line, veteran of the U.S. Cavalry and now hired gun, Booker DeWitt has only one opportunity to wipe his slate clean. He must rescue Elizabeth, a mysterious girl imprisoned since childhood and locked up in the flying city of Columbia. Forced to trust one another, Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond during their daring escape. Together, they learn to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and abilities, as they fight on zeppelins in the clouds, along high-speed Sky-Lines, and down in the streets of Columbia, all while surviving the threats of the air-city and uncovering its dark secret.

Aspyr will be releasing additional details about the game, including a specific release date and pre-order information, as they get closer to launch. (more…)

Quicksave DEAL ALERT!

For the next 2 days (the last 2 days in February, 2013) BioShock 2 for the Mac is only $9.99! With a bargain like that, here’s some compelling reasons why you should explore this game:

Sequels bear a heavy burden. They are continuously compared to the original with a lot of scrutiny. Stick too closely to the formula of the first game and people view it as unoriginal or a cash grab. Veer to far from the proven formula of the first game and the audience thinks you’ve lost the plot or just used the name to nab a built-in audience. Some have succeeded with sequels: Mega Man 2, Call of Duty 2 and Civilization V are all worthy sequels. I’m here to tell you that BioShock 2 is worth adding to that list and worth your time.

Here’s a rundown of the aspects of this game that make it a must-play title: (more…)

It’s Valentine’s Day, and even for gamers, love is in the air. Even if it’s just on screen, the digital world has seen its fair share of couples and love-based storylines. To honor this heart-shaped candy focused day, we thought we’d count down the Top 10 gaming couples. We’ve done something like this before, but since we’re a Mac-centric blog this time it will of course skew towards relationships that Mac gamers can enjoy (though there are a few non-Mac relationships just too good to leave out!). Grab a box of chocolates and enjoy our tribute to an affectionate bond that can occur between two people. (more…)

Just a heads up for all of our readers eager to jump back into the murky ocean depths and revisit Rapture (or for those interested in taking their first visit!): Bioshock 2 Mac is now available for pre-order at the GameAgent Store!  Published by Feral Interactive, BioShock 2 takes place 10 years after the original BioShock and has you filling the boots of the original Big Daddy, Subject Delta.  Rapture has fallen under the control of a collectivist cult who plan to transform Subject Delta’s Little Sister, Eleanor, into a genetically-engineered messiah, who will put an end to individuality forever.  But as a scuba-suit-wearing monstrosity with a drill for an arm, well… we just can’t have that now, can we?

The game is currently scheduled for a January 2012 release.  Head over to the GameAgent Store now for more info! (And hit the jump to check out the trailer!) (more…)
