If you’re reading this and you’re a girl, and your boyfriend is a Mac gamer, start making plans for tonight that don’t include him.

In about five hours from now Steampowered.com will open access to one of the most anticipated video game releases of this year – Counter Strike: Global Offensive.

The game expands upon the team-based action gameplay with new maps, characters, and weapons, as well as updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust). CS: GO also brings new gameplay modes, matchmaking, and leader boards.

Requirements include OS X 10.6.6 (Snow Leopard) or higher, an Intel Core Duo processor (2GHz or better), 2GB of RAM, at least 7.6GB of hard disk space and ATI Radeon HD 2400 or better or NVidia 8600M or better (for graphics).

You'll be able to grab Counter Strike: Global Offensive today for just €9,89. The game normally goes for 15 bucks, or about €10.9. Not much of a discount, but at least there is one. Also, you'll need Steam installed.
