Welcome to IMG's New Look Well, after many months of preperation, going through a few designs, and some delays, we've finally come up with something we think is pretty cool.

Rainbow Six Tom Clancy built Red Storm Entertainment with Rainbow Six in mind. He was a lead designer of the game, drawing from his experience writing best selling, espionage riddled books. The PC game has done well enough to spawn an expansion pack, Eagle Watch, and inspire a new Rainbow Six-type game in development. And now, with the help of MacSoft, the RAINBOW team is poised to make its debut on the Mac. Total Annihilation Total Annihilation is yet another entry into the Real-Time Strategy genre, positioned squarely between Starcraft and Command and Conquer; the rivalry and bickering between the fans of the two games on the PC side is legendary. Mac users are getting this game a bit late; in fact, almost a year and a half after the debut on the PC side. Accordingly, this game looks and feels a bit antiquated, especially the rendered cutscenes and ponderous mission briefings. Thankfully, however, classic, authentic gameplay never goes out of style Descent 3 Descent fans across the land have something special in store for them. The vertigo inducing 3D shooter – Descent 3, being ported to the Mac by Duane Johnson of Graphic Simulations, stands to score big and go deep when it hits Macs everywhere. This sequel to end all sequels contains a little bit of everything that gamers want and more. We are talking eye candy, gameplay, enemy AI, weapons, and devious levels that leave you spinning. That’s right folks, Descent 3 is going to kick some Mac gaming butt upon its release. Traitor's Gate It is considered to be the most valuable treasure in the world, however its symbolic value by far exceeds it´s material value. Literally millions have been spent to protect it. There has been only one attempt to steal it in the last 500 years, and that attempt failed. Now it is under threat and you have to steal it with the utmost discretion, the minimum of force and you have only 12 hours to manage it.

Age of Empires After many months of waiting, Age of Empires is finally upon us. Thanks to MacSoft, this Microsoft game (that's right, Microsoft!) is now available on the Mac. Was it worth the wait? Is Age of Empires as good as you've heard it is? IMG's Christopher Morin reviews the game that garnered the attention of the PC world last year. Bugdom Bugdom is one of those games that reviewers love to call ‘deceptively simple: easy to pick up and learn, tough to master. With its cartoonish graphics, lack of bloodshed, happy color scheme and funny sounds, it is obviously not aimed at the serious gamer. How good is it? Read on... Starcraft: Brood War With Brood War, Blizzard has unleashed the massively popular (on the PC side) add-on pack to the best-selling StarCraft. Brood War has reset the standard for mission packs on both platforms, showing the gaming industry (for at least the third time) how things should be done.
