Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 3 to Run on Macs

TeamXbox writes that vice president of Epic Games, Mark Rein has revealed that both Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 3 will be available on the Mac.

"We're an independent company and we make engine technology. Don’t forget, we’re also doing Macintosh."

So the show's host, Geoff Keighley, asked: "Gears of War is coming to the Mac?"

"Yes, Gears is coming to the Mac and so is UT," said Rein.

Back in June it was announced during the WWDC Keynote that EA will once again develop for the Mac as well as the PC and other platforms. However it was discovered late on that EA plans to use TransGaming's Cider to port games to the Mac. As a result the games will only work on Intel systems.

Ryan Gordon writes that neither Unreal Tournament nor Gears of War take advantage of TransGaming's Cider.
