Batman: Arkham Asylum coming to Mac
by Steve Watts, Sep 15, 2011 1:45pm PDTIf you're a gamer who doesn't own a PC, PlayStation 3, or Xbox 360 -- first of all, what are you doing here? But second, good news! You can finally play one of the hottest games of 2009, Batman: Arkham Asylum. It will release on October 13 for $39.99, just a week before Arkham City hits. You can even grab it as a direct download from the Mac App Store.
The press announcement doesn't tease any added features for the Mac version, but the port is being handled by Feral Interactive -- the studio that handled the OSX versions of Dirt 2, Borderlands, and Lego Indiana Jones 2. Suffice to say, they know their way around a Mac.
Even if a bit late, Arkham Asylum is still worth picking up if you've somehow missed out on the game. It received critical praise across the board with its responsive combat and stealth mechanics. Of course, you could probably pick up the console or PC versions for cheaper, without waiting a month, but it's none of our business how you spend your money.

Price is very much an issue to a part-time worker/student like me, being able to change out my hardware without worrying too much about compatibility is important to me.
Mac's come native with MacOS (as far as I undestand it?) and yes I'm sure I could partition and dual boot with Windows, etc, etc, but as a chap above said, if I want to game and gaming is my prime motivation (I think given that I'm commenting on a game forum about games I didn't need to infer this) then it's far easier and cost effective to just stick with Windows.
As for functionality, I was referring to Windows 7 64 compared to MacOS, as far as I can see Windows gives me more.
