Warcraft Dropping PPC Mac Support
Sep 1st
Blizzard has announced that a forthcoming update for World of Warcraft - which paves the way for the Cataclysm expansion - will mean PPC Mac hardware will be no longer supported.
The following was posted in the game's Mac support forum:
A little forewarning to those of you that play World of Warcraft on these systems. Shortly before the release of Cataclysm, a patch will be released in which PowerPC processor based Macs will no longer be supported. This update indicates the removal of PowerPC support from World of Warcraft. Attempting to run the game after the update will bring up a message stating the hardware is no longer supported, and the game will not run.
You Mac loving Warcrafters are going to have to get yourself an Intel-based Mac or even a proper computer1

Broken Sword Released on iPad
May 26th
Broken Sword - one of the finest point and click adventures ever created - has been released for the Apple iPad. The adventure follows American in Paris George Stobbard who is accidentally caught up in a global conspiracy that is reminiscent of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, only not poorly written by a talentless hack.
This version of the game features graphical enhancements and a digital version of Dave Gibbon's Broken Sword comic. Players must complete six features in the game to unlock this unique bonus feature.
"This really is the definitive version," said Charles Cecil, managing director, Revolution Software. "Rather than rush the game out for the US launch, we have taken the time to get it just right, and with the higher resolution graphics, and the addition of the digital comic as a bonus feature, there's a lot of new content to enjoy. We are thrilled to be able to release the game to coincide with the European launch of the iPad."
Broken Sword: The Director's Cut is available now for £4.99/$7.99/€5.99 from the App Store on iPad or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
