Bioshock for Mac on October 7th: “

Filed under: Gaming, Humor, Software, Odds and ends, Developer

I can personally attest to Bioshock being a terrific game, but the problem is that probably, many of you can as well. Let’s be honest — it actually came out for PC and consoles a full two years ago. At this point, a Mac port is probably useless, but it’s coming out anyway. Feral Interactive has announced that they’ll be releasing the port on October 7th of this year, so those of you Mac diehards who refuse to play games on any other platforms can finally get your fix. The game will be released for $49.95 in the US, and can be preordered on Feral’s store right now. Or, you know, you can run out to Best Buy, pick up a copy for $20 and run it in Boot Camp, it’s up to you.

If you are going for the Mac version, however, you should know that the game doesn’t support the Intel GMA integrated video cards, so you’ll need a dedicated video card in your Mac to play it. Bioshock is a great game, as I’ve said, and if you really stretch it out, it might give you a good six months of free time entertainment — just in time for you to pick up the Mac port of Hellgate: London, a game released in December of 2007. Oh wait.
