The ginormous game maker is releasing its first ever batch of EA-published games available for the Mac: Battlefield 2142, Need for Speed Carbon, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars. Games cost $29.95-$39.95.
Mac users can either order the OS X (ver. 10.4) compatible games now from Apple.com or wait until they hit store shelves either August 21 (for Need for Speed and Harry Potter) or August 28, 2007 (Battlefield and C&C). I know, you can actually hold an EA mac game in your hands, hug it and squeeze it and call it George if you really want to.
Future Mac releases will include Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 and Madden NFL 08 in the September/October 2007. Other games with EA on the box – published by Maxis – include several titles in the Sims franchise including The Sims 2 and expansion packs.
Although these games have been available for Windows PCs for a while, it’s still pretty good news for Mac users. I’m sure the popularity of the iPod has helped convince at least EA that it is worth the time – and money- to release games for the shiny PCs. Now we just need to get them to release the games at the same time as all the other versions are released. At least it is a start.
