Aspyr announces upcoming Gamerhood application


Aspyr has announced a new application in the works for Mac gamers that will allow them to purchase and download games directly to their Mac over the internet. A wide range of games will apparently be available, from casual titles to the AAA big-hitters. Other features of this new application and system include:
  • Play games without physical CD/DVD media
  • Check user compatibility by comparing machine's hardware against a game's minimum system requirements before purchase
  • Alert users to current Aspyr projects and new games
  • Allow users to register games online
  • Alert users to game updates and provide installs for updates
  • Provide a user-friendly interface and convenient way to organize personal gaming catalog
  • Allow parents to restrict game play and online game store material based on ESRB ratings
  • Provide users opportunity to take advantage of special offers
The Gamerhood app itself will be free but only available to North American customers at launch (ETA pending).

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
