MOST ANTICIPATED GAME FOR Q4 2012?

Hello, this is Nukacherry.

Quickly, Q4 refers to September onwards.

I'm always interested in what people are looking forward to, and it doesn't necessarily have to be on the PS3, Xbox 360 or PC. This list can include iOS, Android, PSN, Xbox Live Arcade or Nintendo Store (or any other marketplace I've missed). Here's my list:

NUKACHERRY'S MOST ANTICIPATED GAMES FOR Q4 2012

1. Borderlands 2 - Borderlands is one of my favourite games of all time, and I loved it for its over-the-top violence and gameplay with awesome loot and great enemy variation (except Skags, eugh). Borderlands 2 looks like it improves on its predecessor in every way, and I can't wait to jump into Co-Op and shoot some bazillion guns! + Dubstep.

2. Hitman: Absolution - Hitman: Blood Money IS my favourite game of all time, and after waiting for so long for a sequel, this game has me very excited. The reason it gets the No. 2 spot though is simply due to worries that it might be slightly more linear than Blood Money - the whole reason Blood Money was so great was due to its freedom of choice. I'm probably worrying too much, but I don't want Absolution to ruin my impression of an exquisite series.

3. Assassin's Creed III - This game...looks so good. It's not all big Renaissance cities or dusty Jerusalem. It's in America. It's got tomahawks, bows and arrows, muskets, hoods and snowy-tree parkour. It looks awesome! And had one of the best trailers I've ever seen. I'm not a fan of the series, but this game might just change everything.

2012 is going to be a great year in gaming, and I can't wait to experience it with you all!

@Sooty: Thanks for your reply! So, do you think it will be long before the Mac systems get Direct X support, or what needs to happen for Apple to realise it is a *very* worthy pursuit?

GAMING ON THE MAC

Hello, this is Nukacherry.

I am a recent owner of a Mac computer and although I knew of the absence of mainstream games on the system, I wasn't quite as aware of how significant the difference is between the PC and Mac in terms of gaming, and I have never discovered why this is.

The Mac (and by Mac, I mean Macbook Air, Macbook Pro, iMac and Mac Pro) seems a perfectly capable machine and seems like it should be able to run any game the PC can run. I feel like I'm probably quite ignorant on this matter, but why, oh why, don't game developers release games for the Mac nearly as often? Is it something to do with the hardware, different programming or is the Mac simply not capable of playing those games for various reasons?

I hope that in the future games will start being released for both platforms, as Apple has shown its ability to appeal to the gaming market with its mobile games. Anyway, any information on this would be much appreciated.

I think in terms of the pure fun and enjoyment I got from it I would have to say New Super Mario Bros. (DS) is my favourite Mario game. However Super Mario 3D Land (3DS) is coming close to topping it, simply due to that games' great re-playability.

In a list, at the moment it would be:

1. New Super Mario Bros (DS)
2. Super Mario 3D Land (3DS)
3. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
4. Mario Kart (DS) <- Not sure if this counts.
5. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS)

Anyway, Nintendo has yet to disappoint with a Mario game, and New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS) looks pretty good!
