Quake 4 for Mac ships

Inside Mac Games reports that Aspyr Media is now shipping the Mac universal binary version of Quake 4. You will be able to run the game natively on either PowerPC or Intel Macs, but you'll need at least OS X 10.3.9. However, if you've already installed the Boot Camp beta and would rather save $10, you could buy the Windows version of Quake 4 instead. Half-Life 2 apparently runs just fine using this method.

Mac gaming is at a crossroads right now with the OS decision weighing heavy on the minds of many Mac gamers. On the one hand, you have the higher price and smaller catalogs of OS X games, but without the hassle of Windows partitioned on your system. Then you have that gauntlet of budget-priced gold and platinum PC collections and other Windows exclusives at your local Wal-Mart just waiting for you to take them home.

The OS X release of Quake 4 might be the first true test of which route the Mac faithful will take, and other cross-platform titles like Civilization IV could present future dilemmas. What are your preferences regarding the binary vs. Boot Camp solutions?

Congrats to Mac. I have the demo to Quake 3 but had seemed to be deleted. But at the same time - Macs have limited gaming experiences and limited games so Mac seems to be becomming better when it comes to gaming.

Quake 4 is an alright game. I have it for the PC but I don't play it much. Since I got Battlefield 2 I barely play it at all.
