Obsidian’s classic RPG Neverwinter Nights 2 is on sale on the Mac App Store for 99 cents. That’s a very small amount of money for a highly rated RPG you can play on the office machines. You can grab it here. Neverwinter Nights 2 is the 2006 sequel to the BioWare original, and famously shipped with an extraordinary number of bugs. That’s all been patched to hell and back by now of course, and the game saw several expansions and eventual popularity.

Relic’s WWII RTS series Company of Heroes is heading to the increasingly-not-so-humble Macintosh in compilation form.

Aspyr Media and Mindware Studios just sent over a trailer of their latest effort, a creepy, chaotic shooter called Dreamkiller. As expected, the trailer primarily focuses on dreams and killing — with an almost 50/50 slice between the two, in fact!

Main character Alice Drake, a psychologist who enters patients disturbed minds and proceeds to fill them with hot lead, narrates the whole thing.

Looks like the gothic-tinged baby of Psychonauts and Painkiller, if you ask us.

Catch the trailer after the break.

A February release date for Puzzle Quest: Galactrix on DS was confirmed today, along with the confirmation that a PC version would arrive simultaneously.

An XBLA version isn’t 100 percent confirmed yet. February 24 lands on a Tuesday, which would mess up “the whole Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday thing” we have come to expect, says Joystiq.

IGN has given the Xbox 360 version of Supreme Commander 4.5/10 in one of the game’s first reviews.

Complaints include slowdown, crashing, poor graphics compared to the PC version and impaired AI. The article writer questioned how the game got its certification from Microsoft in such a state.

Along with a limit of four-player multiplayer instead of eight, new interface issues and AI that apparently couldn’t plot its way out of a paper bag, Erik Brudvig closed the review with this line: “The game that PC owners adored in 2007 has received a poor port to Xbox 360 that is more of a disappointment than anything else.”

Ouch.

The Xbox 360 version of RTS Supreme Commander launched today, complete with its console-tailored interface.

As well as new controls, the game also features 360-exclusive units, maps and multiplayer modes, although there’s no option to play against owners of the PC version.

Fans of the PC title shouldn’t feel left out, however: another expansion for the desktop SKU – Supreme Commander: Experimentals – is already in the works.

We had no idea this even had a release date. According to this, the Xbox 360 version of Gas Powered Games’ RTS Supreme Commander has been pushed back to early summer.

“The benefit of having independent companies such as Aspyr and its partners working on a project of this magnitude is that decisions like this can be executed quickly,” added Aspyr marketing manager Eric Duncan. “While the game will be hitting shelves later than originally expected, the additional time put into development will result in better gameplay and more fun for gamers.”

No idea if Aspyr’s even handling the port over here: it’s not even listed on Gamespress. We’ll drop THQ a line.
