A new hidden objects game for mac! And it’s a killer, too.

This new game was completely inspired by the movie, Righteous Kill, starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. You can’t get more star studded than that, can you? Anyway, the movie is about to be released on DVD so stay tuned. Now, back to the game. Righteous Kill involves the events surrounding a series of murders in New York City. You are Officer Erica Dean who investigates crime scenes in search of a vigilante who is a sort of killer’s killer. He takes up killing criminals known for commiting crimes against women. Initial evidence leads to the arrest of the primary suspect, Terry Collins. But more murders begin to take place after he is held in custody…so something strange is happening, indeed. Is someone committing copy-cat murders, or was the wrong man arrested? OR. Another possibility? Find out.

From Apple:

CUPERTINO, California—December 16, 2008—Apple® today announced that this year is the last year the company will exhibit at Macworld Expo. Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, will deliver the opening keynote for this year’s Macworld Conference & Expo, and it will be Apple’s last keynote at the show. The keynote address will be held at Moscone West on Tuesday, January 6, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. Macworld will be held at San Francisco’s Moscone Center January 5-9, 2009.

Apple is reaching more people in more ways than ever before, so like many companies, trade shows have become a very minor part of how Apple reaches its customers. The increasing popularity of Apple’s Retail Stores, which more than 3.5 million people visit every week, and the Apple.com website enable Apple to directly reach more than a hundred million customers around the world in innovative new ways.

Apple has been steadily scaling back on trade shows in recent years, including NAB, Macworld New York, Macworld Tokyo and Apple Expo in Paris.

Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Today, Apple continues to lead the industry in innovation with its award-winning computers, OS X operating system and iLife and professional applications. Apple is also spearheading the digital media revolution with its iPod portable music and video players and iTunes online store, and has entered the mobile phone market with its revolutionary iPhone.

Most of the time, I recommend downloadable games but during this time of year, I will post about games you can offer as gifts to whomever you please for the holidays. It’s hard to put a downloadable game under the Christmas tree, so here’s my first suggestion for a boxed mac game. It’s Zoo Tycoon, and it’s one of the best tycoon sim games around.

Description
Allow your imagination to run wild as you care for more than 100 land, aquatic, and prehistoric animals in the most beautiful and lively zoo imaginable. Additionally, Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection comes with loads of bonus content, including the entire new Endangered Species Theme Pack. This bonus theme pack features 12 animals on the endangered and/or threatened species list, such as orangutans, whale sharks, and Komodo dragons. Zookeepers can tend to these rare animals using more than 40 new objects based on four new themes, and can challenge their inner zoo keeping skills with three new scenarios.

Would-be zookeepers have more than 100 animals and more than 500 building objects at their disposal to create a thriving and healthy zoo. They can set up their own aquatic show, launch an expedition to recover escaped dinosaurs, or build a habitat for an endangered species. With access to many specialized staff such as zookeepers, scientists, and marine specialists, Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection lets virtual zookeepers mix and match animals and themes to create and manage the ultimate zoo. Fun for kids and parents alike, Zoo Tycoon: Complete Collection offers players the most exciting Zoo Tycoon experience next to actually running a real-life zoo.
