I though I'd never see the day.

its not new for epic to make there products mac compatible

How is the editing kit that comes with it?

I just bought the game and played it for a while. I must say that I'm impressed with it. My laptop runs the game at highest settings (no AA) and it still is very playable. Sadly I don't have a xbox360 controller to play with. Sadly they made it use the GFWL service.

A small problem was that after the installation. GFWL was not allowing me to even enter a product key, another thing that proves that the service brings more problems than it solves.

Even though it has the GFWL service, I would recommend this for everyone who hasn't played it on the xbox360.

Hey beele could you PM me your AIM?

...except that iMacs and MacBook Pros are overpriced and don't offer enough features despite having pretty good specs. The power macs are the only tower-style Macs that can be upgraded, but those really break the bank. and the iMac desktops are really higher-clocked laptops (just look at their physical size - the components have to be laptop chips). So while the Mac version may be better, the computer needed to run it is not better at all. And no, emulating PowerPC is not quite the same.

I might buy the game once I build a new desktop computer with a C2D and 2 GB DDR2 and a Geforce 8800 GT and all that...my desktop can easily take the game but probably won't be powerful enough to let it show its true colors. I have the X360 version anyway, but I don't have xbox Live, and never will, which is why I'm interested.

as for GFWL, I hate it too, but in concept it is a good way to unify PC gaming and prevent piracy. It's just poorly executed.

IAWTP.

Gears looked bloody amazing (no pun intended) when it first came out. I think I'll buy it, just so I can catch up on the plot. Plus I need a 4th game for my 360.

EVGA 8800GT

Shit look at how cheap this 8800GT is...I think I'll get this instead of the HD 2900PRO. I need a card that is low on power and is relatively cheap but has extreme graphics capabilities. As much as I loathe nVidia, I can't say that they don't beat the shit out of ATi with that price. I really wish it would have HDMI too but that would screw over one of the main advantages of my beloved ATi cards.
