More like Mac Gear, amirite? Konami today announced that the surprisingly fun hack'n'slash title Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, the ninth entry into the official Metal Gear canon, is now available for Macintosh users.

The debut marks the first time any of the legendary stealth action series is available for the platform. The game sheds a lot of the elements that mark the Metal Gear series, such as long winded cutscenes and cardboard boxes, in favor of a more pure action aesthetic. Players assume the role of everyone's favorite Metal Gear character, Raiden (from MGS: Sons Of Liberty) who got a serious upgrade in the time since then. He's a cyborg now and it's his one and only job to chop up other cyborgs.
Revengeance was a big hit when it was released last year, and it helped make the wait for MGS V a bit less painful.
