Gears of War and UT3 coming to the Mac

Back at WWDC one of the most surprising things was the emphasis on gaming. Well apparently Uncle Steve and Co. were serious as Epic has confirmed that the Xbox 360 mega-hit Gears of War as well as the highly anticipated Unreal Tournament 3 are both coming to the Mac. On a video at Gametrailers.com, Epic VP Mark Rein reveals the news. As the resident 360 maven let me assure you that getting Gears on the Mac should make a lot of Mac gamers happy. There's no word on timing, but with announcements like this there's reason to hope that the future of gaming on Intel Macs looks bright.

I wish Steam would make a Mac OS X client.

Now I'm pleased I've just bought an 8core 3ghz Mac Pro with 512mb graphics card. It's all good for Photoshop and work stuff... but for games.. good to blow out the dust.. Bring it on!!!! Now if i could get a hack to use my wii remote... now you're talking!

Screw what video cards are in your machine... much easier to optimize a game to a system when you only have a few video cards to contend with.. this is going to be the sh*t!!!... might sell a kidney and get a Mac Pro... who needs good health when you can play GEARS on a mac.

I didn't know Macs could do gaming because I didn't know they had good enough graphics cards? Oh well, I just hope that Mac players can go up against PC players online. I don't see any reason why not.
