Mac is not the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “gaming”. Yes, mobile games are extremely popular on iPhone and iPad but when it comes to big, triple-A titles, Mas seems to stay behind PC and home gaming consoles. Even though Apple devices were always cutting edge, they are still not associated with video games. You might not know this, but gaming on Mac computers is nothing new. In fact, the first Mac video games are pretty old and date back to the late 1970s. These games include titles such as Global War, Asteroids in Space, and Flight Simulator. The number of Mac titles never equaled (and probably never will) the number of PC or console games, but there were blockbusters and advanced titles as well. Myst (released in 1993), Sim City 2000 (1993), Wolfenstein 3D (1994), Command and Conquer (1996), and Diablo (1997) are just a few of them. And now? Look at titles like BioShock, DragonAge, and Guitar Hero. The Mac’s video game library may not be as extensive as PC’s or PlayStation’s but it certainly isn’t as bad as one might think. The iOS system is very fluid and efficient, and because of that gaming on Mac can be pretty entertaining.Role-playing games (known also as RPGs) are based on more traditional board games like Dungeons & Dragons. In most of these games player can take a role of one or more adventurers who specialize in a specific skill (combat, magic, stealth, etc.). Many role-playing games force players to travel through the game world, usually populated with various monsters. While doing so, players can access more important locations, such as different towns, caves, and dungeons. Gameplay elements typically associated with RPGs, are: character development (through the experience points), exploration, and gathering of loot. The most well-known RPG franchises of all time are: Baldur’s Gate, The Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy, Witcher, and Dragon Age. Games Republic. Only top role-playing titles for PC and consoles.

The franchise encompasses books, movies, toys, and even video games. There are over a dozen Harry Potter video games (eight titles corresponding with books and movies as well as several spin-offs). The first installment, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was actually one of the most successful and best-selling PlayStation games of all time. The story and design of the Harry Potter video games follow the corresponding film's characterisation and plot (developers worked in cooperation with Warner Bros.). The last game in the series (Deathly Hallows) was even split into two halves, just like the last Harry Potter movie. It’s worth noting that some of the LEGO Games do feature Harry Potter universe, although it’s a completely separate franchise. Harry Potter games are a perfect gift for every fan of the franchise. If you grew up with the young sorcerer, they may prove a real treat. Experience the magic of Hogwarts once more, with Games Republic!Hide
