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.TBS (Turn-Base Strategy) game is a subgenre of strategy video games where players take their turns when playing. This is completely different from real-time strategy (RTS) where all players play the same game simultaneously. Turn based strategy is ideal for gamers with low APM (Action-Per-Minute rate) and more casual approach towards gaming. The first TBS video games were actually converted from historic board games. After their huge success, video game companies created their own franchises based on original concepts. That’s how the best TBS games of all time were born. Titles like Sid Meier's Civilization, Panzer General, and of course the entire Heroes of Might and Magic series are well known among the players from all over the world. Fun fact: The oldest turn-base strategy game is actually the game of chess. Games Republic is a place where every PC gamer will find the best TBS games.

Being a sniper in a video game is a little more appealing as game designers try their best to make it an immersive, action-packed experience. Sniper franchise is a series of tactical shooters developed and published by City Interactive for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. It consists of four installments: Sniper: Art of Victory, Sniper: Ghost Warrior, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2, and Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3. All games are tactical shooters played from a first-person perspective. As the title might suggest, a large portion of the game consists of stealth, staking out targets and taking them out with the use of sniper rifles. As is the case with Sniper Elite, one of the game’s key elements is realistic ballistics. Bullet trajectories are subject to wind strength, gravity, breathing and flight time, all of which players must consider while taking a shot. It further adds to Sniper’s realism and immersion. Sniper games were praised for their theme and mechanics and sold over 6 million copies worldwide. Feel how it is to be a sniper. Stake out your targets and take them out with one precise shot. Sniper games are available at Games Republic.Hide
