Splinter Cell and Raven Shield Announced on IMG Chat
10:35 AM | Galen Wiley | Comment on this story

Macintosh gamers from all over Friday hurried into the IMG IRC channel for the news; an exclusive two game announcement from an unidentified company. The company turned out to be none other than Macintosh gaming publisher Aspyr Media, and the two new games are the popular ultra-realistic stealth-action game, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, and the squad-based tactical shooter Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield.

Both games are expected to ship this October, and due to similar game engines, come with identical system requirements:

Mac OS X, version 10.2 or later
Power Mac G4, iMac G4, eMac, PowerBook G4
733 MHz processor or faster
256 MB or RAM
1.7 GB hard drive space
3D Graphics Acceleration required (minimum of ATI Radeon or NVidia GeForce 2 series card)
As a special offer in celebration of the announcement, Aspyr has opened up the pre-ordering process for both games, and for this weekend only, $5 will be taken off of any of the two purchases.

We've provided a transcript from the chat session for those who might have missed it. Contained is more information about both games and answers to some reader questions. Expect more news and media to be revealed as the games near release. For more information about pre-ordering, you can check out the links below.
