Bioshock Coming to Mac In October (Only Two Years Late)

By

The critically-acclaimed Bioshock game is coming to the Mac on October 7, Feral Interactive has announced.

The game was released for Windows and the Xbox 360 in August 2007, more than two years ago. Isn’t it great that game developers are so dedicated to the Mac platform?

In addition, the Mac version requires a dedicated video card: it doesn’t support Intel’s integrated GMA video cards, used in some MacBooks and iMacs, and all Mac Minis, except the newest models.

Oh well, the game is reportedly a beauty — scary and deep. Wired.com’s Clive Thompson said it was a better horror movie than anything Hollywood has produced recently.

Bioshock will cost $49.95 and can be preordered on Feral’s online store. Or buy a copy of the Windows version and run under Boot Camp for $20. Pick up a copy of Bioshock 2 for $46.49 at the same time.
