BioShock announced for Mac Image 1

If PC gamers feel left in the cold for all the delays, just imagine how Mac users feel -- a year or two (sometimes more) to wait is not atypical. Nevertheless, the games keep coming, like 2K's masterpiece BioShock, just announced to be arrive on Apple's platform October 7.

Feral Interactive are the company behind it, one of the few working on Mac ports these days. In the past they've put out the likes of Black & White and Colin McRae Rally, so if you've played those you know what kind of quality to expect.

Nothing new is planned for this version, unfortunately, but you can count on it looking as good as ever, judging from the screenshots here.

As for technical specifications, the game will run great on the latest generation of MacBooks as well as the Minis. Here are the details:

Minimum and recommended system requirements

Processor 1.8 GHz 2.4 GHz
RAM 1.5GB 3GB
Graphics 128MB VRAM 512MB VRAM
Mac OS 10.5.8 10.6
Hard Disk 8GB 8GB
Drive DVD DVD
Input Mouse Multi-button mouse

Note BioShock doesn't support Intel GMA integrated chipsets found on older systems, but anything from the GeForce 9400M series on should be golden.

The game is currently available for pre-order for £35 (~$55 USD) at Feral's online shop.
