MacCentral has two notes on the Mac gaming scene, which will certainly be getting slightly more attention from the gaming press as Halo finally "returns home" to the platform it was originally announced for more than four years ago.First, Duane Johnson, formerly of Westlake Interactive (the company that ported Mac Halo, as well as countless other games) is becoming the fourth programmer to join the newly-formed internal development team at Aspyr. Aspyr previously only published games that were either developed or ported by other studios. Johnson worked on Halo, MOHAA, Elite Force and Elite Force II, among others.Next, IDG has announced that the Macworld Conference & Expo will have a Macintosh Gaming Area this year. The conference is being held at the Moscone Center in San Fransisco, CA. Mac gamers will be able to sample Halo, Unreal Tournament, Age of Mythology, Splinter Cell and others on a selection of G5s and 17" iMacs.
