Geometry WarsTM Franchise Available Now on Mac and Linux for First Time Ever


AUSTIN, Texas --(Business Wire)--

Aspyr Media, in partnership with Sierra™, announced today that Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is available now on both Mac and Linux platforms through Steam and coming soon to Apple's (News - Alert) Mac App Store. This marks the first time the award-winning Geometry Wars franchise is available on either platform.

"With Geometry Wars we wanted to make sure we could get it into the hands of as many gamers as possible. Aspyr has built a reputation on bringing the best games to Mac and now Linux platforms, so they were a natural fit," said Bob Loya, Sr. Director of External Development for the Sierra brand. "They've been a great partner and have done an amazing job in getting the game ready to launch."

The game will retain all the same features and gameplay as the Windows PC version and on Steam will include both competitive and cooperative multiplayer. Both Mac and Linux versions are now available directly from Steam and from Aspyr's own GameAgent.com. GameAgent members that secure their Steam code from GameAgent.com will also have a chance to take advantage of a member-exclusive launch promotion.

"Working with Sierra as a publisher has been great," said Aspyr Media's Vice President of Publishing, Elizabeth Howard. "Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions looks and plays amazingly and should be a part of everyone's Macand Linux gaming library."
