Feral Interactive recently unveiled a new monthly newsletter focusing on its catalog of games brought to Mac. The debut edition includes discussion of the recently released BioShock and The Movies: Superstar Edition, a special discount for newsletter subscribers, a few tips for mastering BioShock, and a hint that January will offer news of Rome: Total War.

Greetings! This is our first newsletter, so we’d like to start by saying a big hello to you and all the other members of the group we are officially calling "recipients of the Feral Newsletter." We’re sending it out to everyone who has previously registered on our website, or bought from our web store and indicated they would be interested in receiving updates from us. Every month we’ll let you know about our latest Mac game releases, offer tips and tricks for our current titles, and report the rest of the news from Feral’s floating headquarters (currently tethered illegally to the Tower of London). You’ll also find a special offer for our web store, exclusively for recipients of the Feral newsletter.

Top Tips for BioShock:
We promised hints at the beginning of the newsletter, so here are a couple to get you started. If you use the Incinerate plasmid and manage to set a Splicer on fire, chances are they’ll head to water as fast as they can. Switch to Electrobolt, fire lightning at the water, and the problem will be solved faster than you can say "toaster."

Later in the game you’ll pick up a camera which you can use to take photos of security turrets, Splicers, and the rest of your many enemies in Rapture. Take a particularly good photo (close up, well-framed) and you’ll begin to understand their weaknesses, possibly earning yourself a bonus: dealing increased damage to a particular type of Splicer, or picking up some of their abilities.

That’s All Folks:
That’s about it for this month’s edition of the Feral newsletter! Thanks for reading and we’ll see you next month with news from the armies of an ancient empire...
