Spore, Call of Duty 4 Confirmed for OSX

Posted by Zonk on from the we'll-make-gamers-out-of-you-yet dept.

1up is reporting that, along with the big announcements from yesterday's MacWorld event, the welcome news trickles down that OSX will be getting some more games. The much-delayed Spore has been confirmed for the platform, as has the hit FPS title Call of Duty 4. "In Spore's case, the magic of cross-platform portability is achieved through the use of a special software layer supplied by Toronto-based TransGaming Technologies. This software is capable of interpreting hardware calls to Windows DirectX into Mac-capable instructions. Through use of this technology, Electronic Arts (and others) seem hopeful about bringing even more games to mac in the coming months."

    Maybe they'll port Spore and Duke Nukem Forever to the Phantom while they're at it.

    I was wondering why Spore was so delayed. I can now blame it on Mac porting. Now all they need is a smug commercial with the Mac guy showing off his abilities to delay games on Windows! (I am just joking, don't hurt me)

      Mac users don't play games, they play Photoshop.

      Dude, Mac has a great games selection. There's Breakout...and, um...Super Breakout.
