HOLY MAC GAMING BATMAN!

I sold my XBox 360 a few weeks ago and gave up on ever playing Gears of War ever again, but then..

BOOM!!!

Gears of War, the hit third-person action game, is bound for the Mac along with Unreal Tournament 3, Epic Games vice president and co-founder Mark Rein revealed to Game Trailers.

In the interview with Geoff Keighley of Spike TV’s “Game Head” show (available for viewing in QuickTime format at Gametrailers.com), Rein let the news of a Mac version of Gears of War slip out.

Gears of War is a third-person action game with elements of tactics and horror. The game puts you in the role of Marcus Fenix as he fights against the “Locust Horde,” a nightmarish horde of creatures. It’s powered by Epic’s Unreal Engine 3, which is being used to develop Unreal Tournament 3—formerly known as Unreal Tournament 2007—which is slated for a Christmas 2007 debut on some game platforms.

It will only be worth it if they aren't run via Cider.

Exactly, after the EA letdown, I don't want to get my hopes up too fast. That little omission of information was pretty deceptive IMHO.

What exactly is Cider? Is it like some gaming port through Mac?
GoW sounds great on mac, but I doubt the graphics would be xbox360-wise
