Aspyr Media's Latest Mac Game Report--Four New Games and a Patch
GUITAR HERO III: Legends of Rock--We've spent the last month adding extra optimization for the graphics engine under OS X, and making sure the game will work under Apple's new OS update, Leopard. The PC & Mac version will come with a Gibson X-Plorer Model USB guitar, giving you the full Guitar Hero experience. We've also gone through the extra effort to make a very fun keyboard & mouse control option, in case you want to play the game on your Mac Book Pro when you don't have the guitar handy. More.
ENEMY TERRITORY QUAKE WARS--We've been working on compatibility with OS X Leopard, and tuning performance on the broadest range of Intel Macs we can. The online part of the game is playing very well against PC's, and as soon as we polish up a few more optimizations and bug fixes the game should be ready to go off for the last round of testing and approvals. [This is the one we're waiting for--ed.] More.
NEVERWINTER NIGHTS 2--The completely reworked graphics engine in Neverwinter Nights 2 has proven a challenge to get running well on a broad range of Intel Macs and versions of OS X. We're focusing on compatibility with some of the older Intel iMac video cards and Apple's upcoming OS X release, Leopard, and this has unfortunately delayed development on NWN2. We're unsure if the game will be done before the end of the year, but Aspyr Studios' engineers are busy working with Apple, nVidia and ATI to get the game running the best it can. More.
THE SIMS 2 BON VOYAGE--We've just started work on the latest Sims 2 expansion pack for Mac, Bon Voyage. We are working as quick as we can to get this game on shelves, stay tuned for more information. More.
CIVILIZATION IV 1.74 PATCH RELEASED--This is an official update for Sid Meier’s Civilization IV. This patch will update any current version of the game to 1.74. This patch is intended to bring the Mac version up to date with the PC version of the game offering a variety of fixes. This update is available as a free download from this MacGameFiles Web page.
