Freeverse has a ounced that Wingnuts 2, a top-down aerial arcade shooter game, is now available for online purchase and download. The title benefits from being an original and exclusive Mac game, developed and playable exclusively on the Mac. Freeverse co-founder Colin Lynch Smith mentio the advantages of developing games solely for the Mac over on I ide Mac Games:"This is the biggest game to be written ecifically for the Mac in years. Targeting just the Mac mea no performance compromises (and lower system requirements)-- and we can design in cool OS X ecific technologies like CoreImage and iSight integration."
It's about time that game developers woke up to the benefits of creating games ecifically for the Mac platform. Hopefully this will be the first title of many in a resurgence of big name Mac-exclusive titles.
You can grab a demo of the game at this link and a video of the game (complete with an example of the fancy CoreImage effects) is available here. A DVD boxset of the game will ship in early July, but if you can't wait that long the game is available as a who ing 550MB download for $29.95 over on the Wingnuts 2 site.
