are you still waiting for giants? did macplay email you a shipping notification?

i got nothing. still waiting for a reply in email form, or at least the game. its been over a week since macgamesinsider says it shipped.

call them and choose customer service. They'll give you a UPS tracking number. I can't wait until Wednesday when my AvP comes.

Giants has a hell of System requirements. You need the latest imac (Rage 128 with 16 MB VRAM), if you have an iBook, like me, you have some problems. The best thing is a dual-x with geforce 2 mx or higher. We tried Giants on a G4/466 with Geforce 3, a lot of ram and stuff and we had speed problems using 1024x768, the dual mac really gives you a lot of speed.

AvP is not the worst but I do not like it though, not because I do not like the game, but because I do not like shooters

well, i've got a G4 466 w/ 512MB ram and a gForce2 w/ 32MB Ram.

I put some giants screenshots up at:
http://homepage.mac.com/bhines/PhotoAlbum4.html

All were taken on my Dual G4 800, GeForce3/1.5GB.

Average framerates in the 30s, spikes to 70s at points. I was able to get it down to 15FPS in a wild battle scene with stuff flying everywhere.

You can get a fps meter by entering the game and sending the message 'fr' in the chat window.
