While PC gamers are anxiously awaiting the release of BioShock 2 in early February, Mac owners will finally be able to play the original game in the first person shooter series in a native format. Feral Interactive has announced that the Mac version of BioShock will be released in October.

Yes, that does mean it took over two years for the Mac gaming audience to get a native version of 2K Boston's FPS masterpiece of gameplay and art design. The Mac version is currently available for pre-order at Feral Interactive's web site for $49.95. System requirements for the game can be found after the jump:

1.8 GHz Intel Mac
1.5 GB RAM
128 MB graphics card
DVD drive
8 GB of hard disk space
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
The game does not support Intel GMA integrated video chipsets, but does run on the latest generation of MacBooks and Mac Minis.

Are they insane? $49.95? I know it's a "new" game for the Macs and all, but really?Posted at 10:22AM on Sep 24th 2009 by Michael Leung

Umm.
Requirements: "Intel Mac"
I think anyone that wanted the game would have used Bootcamp to put Windows on their mac and bought the pc version by now. I have a MacBook Pro, put a Windows XP partition on it, bought Bioshock off of Steam for $5 when it was on sale, and played it.

Yes, I want to pay a 1000% increase to play the game in OSX.... >_>Posted at 1:13PM on Sep 24th 2009 by Xeones25
