Virtual Programming has released the Mac version of X3: Reunion. The game is available as a digital download with a boxed version to follow in the coming weeks. X3: Reunion uses TransGaming Cider portability engine, making it the third game recently-released to be Intel-only (Star Wars: Empire at War and Heroes of Might & Magic V are also Intel-only).

The sequel to the award winning X: The Threat introduces a new 3D engine as well as a new story, new ships and a new gameplay to greatly increase the variety in the X-universe. The economy of X3: Reunion is more complex than anything seen in the X-universe before. Factories are built by NPCs, wars can affect the global economy, NPCs can trade freely and pirates will behave far more realistically.

The Story
What happened so far: While the Argon fleet is stretched almost to breaking point by the continuing attacks from Khaak, a new enemy is stalking the X-universe. What links a mysterious ship with the power to disappear, the ruthless Yaki pirates and a machine left by an ancient species? Its time to strap yourself in, warm up your laser cannon and get some answers.
