Video game publishers! Hear our cry! Mac gamers are people too, and we don't deserve to be so ruthlessly ignored when it comes to video game releases. Our Macs are more than powerful enough to run these games, you've just got to gives us a chance. We know that you all like to explain the choice not to release on Mac by saying "there isn't a critical mass of Mac gamers," but that's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Think about it: why aren't there enough Mac gamers? Because Apple fans hate awesome video games? Or because you're not releasing your games there in the first place, starving the community to near non-existence?

Far Cry 3

Far Cry 3 was one of the big surprises of the show. Few people really expected this game to come out and make waves. The last game in the series was plagued by some problems, and was apparently rushed to retail before it was ready, causing the brand to take a hit. Far Cry 3 was still one of the toasts of E3 this week though. Here's to hoping that someday the experience also comes to the average Mac-owning gamer.

Bioshock Infinite

It would be tough to have a conversation about the best games of all-time without including Bioshock. The game rocked the gaming world's collective socks in 2007, and the buzz for its spiritual successor is sky high. While it was only shown behind closed doors away from the show floor, those who saw the game came away absolutely floored.

ARMA III 

You may never have heard of ARMA, but it commands an extremely rabid fan base of military fetishists. The experience is all about having a huge open war with a massive array of weaponry at your disposal, everything from tanks and helicopters to personal infantry weapons. The third game in the series will bring all the requisite improvements along with sea-based combat and a ton of new features for their obsessive modding community.

The Witcher 2: Assassin's of Kings

Though already released, The Witcher 2 maintained a fairly significant presence at E3 2011. The buzz about this game just couldn't be any greater, and its Metacritic rating is still hovering around in the 90s which is pretty incredible. The only problem is that it's not making the jump to too many other systems. It was announced for the Xbox 360 at E3, so why not Mac next?

Mass Effect 3

Earth is officially under attack in this series concluding installment in the Mass Effect storyline. Shepherd must assemble an elite team of specialists and warriors to head back to Earth and send the invaders packing. The second game in the series was absolutely spectacular, and BioWare essentially has the Mass Effect formula dialed in at this point. This is shaping up to be a fantastic game.

Prey 2

Prey 2 was one of the big surprises of the show for us. The previous game in the series was completely forgettable. Prey 2 ups the ante considerably with a big open alien world to explore as you accept bounties and hunt down perps. Toss in an almost Mirror's Edge-esque platforming system, and a ton of neat gadgets, and you've got the makings for a potential surprise hit.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Skyrim and Bioshock Infinite were essentially the only two games worth mentioning when it came time to discuss the Game of the Show. In this case we're inclined to prefer Skyrim. Its mystical fantasy setting is just so amazing it must be seen to be believed. The previous game in the series, Oblivion, remains one of our favorite games of all-time on any system, and the sequel is looking even better. We can't wait to see how the final product turns out later this year.

Batman: Arkham City

Few people saw Batman: Arkham Asylum coming when it released in 2009. After decades of miserable games based on the Caped Crusader, most people had given up on Batman-based games. But with one fell swoop, Rocksteady brought him back into the limelight, and now the next Batman game is looking spectacular. Sporting a big open world environment in Gotham City (along with the ability to play as the sultry Catwoman) Arkham City looks to make its predecessor proud.

Carrier Command: Gaea Mission

Blink and you would have missed Carrier Command at a tiny unassuming booth from Bohemia (the makers of the popular ARMA series). This unique little strategy game gives you complete control over a single aircraft carrier as you assault a set of 33 islands in an archipelago. You can send out drones on reconnaissance missions while viewing a live feed of the view from the drone, and you can send out autonomous bombing missions, or with a single click take over the vehicle yourself. You can even assume control over individual soldiers and continue the fight in first person shooter combat.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Deus Ex is looking absolutely spectacular so far. We got a chance to try it out, and the game is just phenomenal already. What is especially impressive is that the game was still fun even on the noisy, busy E3 show floor. Methodical and cerebral stealth games like Deus Ex don't tend to demo very well, but this was still an absolute blast. We couldn't be more excited to take control of mechanically augmented super-soldier Adam Jensen in the cyberpunk dominated near-future.
