Half-Life for the Mac

Half-Life for the Mac is the story today, and it is the kind of late-April 1999 news blast that makes the pre-E3 season feel like someone kicked the hornet nest. Sierra Studios made it official today their hit game Half-Life is set to be available for Macintosh gamers this fall. Originally developed by Valve Software, the Macintosh version of the title will be developed by Southern California-based Logicware, recognized for Macintosh gaming development and well-known for working with some of the top computer game publishers in the industry. Half-Life combines the visceral action of legendary action games like Quake with great storytelling in the tradition of Stephen King. Named Game of the Year by 40 publications worldwide, it is by far one of the most popular first-person action thriller games on the market.

Bottom line: if this is your kind of game, start watching the download pages and store shelves. April has been stupidly busy, and this one just joined the pile.
