When you think of hardcore gaming action, do you also think of men in skirts and sandals parading around on elephants? Well, you’re not alone, surprisingly. When I posted an article in January of 2009 that Feral would be bringing Rome: Total War to the Macintosh, it was greeted by comments of excitement as the estimated release date approached. And passed. And approached again. And passed again. And again. And again. And again. But it works like this sometimes.

About a week ago, I left Macworld Expo feeling good about the state of gaming on the Macintosh. I mean, can I really hold game publishers responsible for not making the trek out to San Francisco? Hardly any developers were there this year, but the expo still managed to pack in the faithful. I think many of the companies who took this year off will return in January 2011. But for now, screw them. Let’s talk about one of the companies that did bother to show up for Macworld Expo: Telltale Games.
