on Nov 13th 2010 at 9:00AM Man, it's about $*#(ing time. The storied Grand Theft Auto trilogy, featuring GTA 3, GTA Vice City, and GTA San Andreas, is finally coming to the Mac thanks to Transgaming. Of course, it's about ten years late -- the first game in the grouping came out in 2001 on the PS2. On current-gen gaming consoles, gamers have enjoyed Grand Theft Auto IV for a few years, and Rockstar released Red Dead Redemption earlier this year and is priming for a game called LA Noire. I'm surprised these haven't been released on the Mac yet; especially with Steam on the platform, you'd think there would have been a port at some point. You can order the Mac versions of the Grand Theft Auto trilogy right now for $15 each online, and in about a month they'll be showing up in various retail stores. If you somehow missed these the first time around, or if you just want a few terrific older games to play on your Mac, you can pick and play these. Just keep them away from the kids -- they're all very mature games. They should have focused on a game that actually makes sense. Most of the Mac ports seem inferior in performance compared to the Windows versions and GTA IV suffers from some great performance issues in itself on Windows, so I cannot even imagine how bad it would be on the Mac OS X. I just grabbed the Windows versions via Steam last weekend during one of their great sales, even though I know I probably won't play them until they go Mac native. Hope that happens soon. In the meantime, the console versions are about a buck apiece... Sadly, it seems owning the Windows version doesn't net you the Mac version. And I'm not really keen on buying San Andreas for the 4th time. What makes you think that the Mac version won't be available to owners of the Windows versions? I bought the £5 GTA bundle specifically so that when it migrates to Mac I can play it. Every other game i own on Steam is playable cross platform. I think ``mature'' isn't quite the word to describe these games. I'll buy it. All of them. I already have GTA3 on PS2, PC, Xbox and soon Mac. Just a classic game, so is Vice City. San Andreas not so much, but it's still great. Haven't bought any games for my Mac yet, and I made the switch 4 years ago. Could somebody tell if a late 2008 Mac Mini is able to run GTA SA properly? I also own an early 2009 MBP which is more powerful but gaming is much better at a desktop computer... Please keep your comments relevant to this blog entry.
