These are dark days for Mac gamers. Despite our surge of growth in the PC market, we haven’t seen similar growth in the number of top tier games coming to our beloved system. In fact, it’s quite the opposite, as many stalwart Mac developers—such as Freeverse and Pangea—spend less time creating Mac games (if any time at all), moving instead to the iPhone. So, what to do? By a PC? Heavens no. You get a console. And to learn which system is for you, look towards Gamertell’s E3 coverage.

For those who don’t know, E3 (the Electronic Entertainment Expo) is an annual trade show for the computer and video games industry. It’s to computer and video gamers what Macworld is to Mac users…well, until Apple decided Macworld was no longer important, anyway. In fact, there will likely be some Mac/iPhone game announcements made at E3, although it’s doubtful anyone will care. The main draw, of course, are the press conferences from Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, where the big games and the big technology will be announced and shown off.

The event is going on right now, with Microsoft’s press conferences starting at 10:25 a.m. PDT, and Nintendo and Sony to follow along tomorrow. If you want to listen in (and seriously, you should), you can follow the announcements over at our sister site, Gamertell:
