BioShock announced for Mac

BioShock announced for Mac

If PC gamers feel left in the cold for all the delays, just imagine how Mac users feel -- a year or two (sometimes more) to wait is not atypical. Nevertheless, the games keep coming, like 2K's masterpiece BioShock, just announced to be arrive on Apple's platform October 7.

Feral Interactive are the company behind it, one of the few working on Mac ports these days. In the past they've put out the likes of Black & White and Colin McRae Rally, so if you've played those you know what kind of quality to expect.

Nothing new is planned for this version, unfortunately, but you can count on it looking as good as ever, judging from the screenshots here.

As for technical specifications, the game will run great on the latest generation of MacBooks as well as the Minis. Here are the details:

Minimum and recommended system requirements

Processor 1.8 GHz 2.4 GHz 

RAM 1.5GB 3GB 

Graphics 128MB VRAM 512MB VRAM 

Mac OS 10.5.8 10.6 

Hard Disk 8GB 8GB

Note BioShock doesn't support Intel GMA integrated chipsets found on older systems, but anything from the GeForce 9400M series on should be golden.

The game is currently available for pre-order for 35 (~$55 USD) at Feral's online shop.
