So you missed out on the launch of one of the best games of the year on every other system under the sun because of your affinity for computers with a bit of fruit plastered on it? No biggie, I too, also enjoy my Apple laptop. I'm not offering solace because of a mutual affinity, mind you, but because BioShock Infinite is now available on Mac.
It's been a while since the game launched back in March, so if you've managed to avoid all of the game's spoilers at this point, well played, particularly as it's been one of the top selling multi-platform titles ever seen.
"Aspyr Media is proud to announce that Bioshock Infinite is coming to the Mac this Summer! Mac gamers will take on the role of Booker DeWitt as he travels to the lost flying city of Columbia to rescue a mysterious girl named Elizabeth. Together, they will learn to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and abilities, all while surviving the threats of the air-city and uncovering its dark secret," says a release from the company shortly after the game's release.
Steam Play, controller support, and the Columbia's Finest expansion are all available for it now, and the Burial at Sea DLC should be here pretty soon.
Grab the game now from your friendly neighborhood retailer, or via Steam or the App Store for you lazy folks.
