Aspyr has announced a new application in the works for Mac gamers that will allow them to purchase and download games directly to their Mac over the internet. A wide range of games will apparently be available, from casual titles to the AAA big-hitters. Other features of this new application and system include:

  • Play games without physical CD/DVD media
  • Check user compatibility by comparing machine's hardware against a game's minimum system requirements before purchase
  • Alert users to current Aspyr projects and new games
  • Allow users to register games online
  • Alert users to game updates and provide installs for updates
  • Provide a user-friendly interface and convenient way to organize personal gaming catalog
  • Allow parents to restrict game play and online game store material based on ESRB ratings
  • Provide users opportunity to take advantage of special offers

The Gamerhood app itself will be free but only available to North American customers at launch (ETA pending).
