One of the few great OSX games around
As others have noted, Prey is a sight-and-sound pleaser to be sure. Graphics are smooth and fast on my 2.8Ghz MBP and the funky way this game plays with gravity shifting will keep you guessing on how best to get through levels.
I cant get over the few humorous moments put into the game, such as the scene where aliens are rocking out to the jukebox playing Judas Priest, "Youve got another thing coming" right before you fight them. Hilarious. And poignant. Who said serious shooters couldnt be a little funny?
Visually this is almost as stunning as TRON 2.0 was when it was released but the levels and gameplay are more defined with a better storyline.
Its too bad the majority of OSX games are puny, childish cartoon-ish nonsense; deeply developed and visual stunners like this could easily be ported to Mac (Portal, for example) and why more arent is strange, but Prey is definitely worth the money regardless how old it is.
