Yesterday saw a triple-whammy of sugary Apple gaming goodness:
- Steam for Mac was released, meaning all the games you own on Steam that are ported to the Mac can also be played there, free.
- Torchlight was a day-1 release on the service, meaning Ogre (and therefore code written by me) was among the very first on the service.
- Portal became free (for Mac and PC)
Wow. A great day for Mac gaming. I noticed that World Of Goo was up on day 1 too, and since I’d bought it on Steam I could play it right away on my MBP too. Yummy.
Curiously, considering it’s based on Ogre, I don’t actually own Torchlight on Steam - I had a free Windows-only copy from Runic, I bought a physical (Windows-only) copy for my shelf, and I bought copies for both my wife and Diablo-obsessed brother in law on Steam but I never got a copy there myself, so I haven’t tried it on the Mac yet. I need to ask my wife to log in on the MBP so I can try it! 😀
