Rather than being set in a Tolkien-insipired, idyllic and mythical England, the ruling empire in the Warhammer games is stern and Germanic. The enemy is Chaos itself, manifesting in the form of hideous beast men and Lovecraftian monsters who’s aim is simply to spread entropy. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning gets the tone of this right; from the start it is made clear that you are one soldier in a war more vast than you can properly grasp.

War. What is it good for? For hammering online, apparently. Mythic Entertainment and Electronic Arts have announced that the critically acclaimed MMORPG, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR), is now available for the Macintosh. The Mac version is available to new subscribers via digital download at Gametreeonline.com for $19.95. Current subscribers can download the Mac version free of charge.

If Mythic Entertainment had a hammer, they’d hammer out war all over this Mac. Not sure how the Weavers would feel about that, but it’s good news for Mac gamers. Mythic Entertainment has announced that the critically acclaimed MMORPG, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR), will be released for the Macintosh on October 28, 2009. WAR on Mac will be available to new subscribers via digital download at Gametreeonline.com for $19.95 and includes 30 days of game time. Current subscribers will be able to download the Mac client at no charge for use with existing accounts.
