Continuing what seems to be the inevitable trend toward buy and play anywhere, EA has made available to a limited number of users early access to Origin for Mac. It looks and feels just like the PC counterpart- offering cloud storage, auto-patching, friends list, and more.

Since I already have an Origin account, I logged in and downloaded the 34.5 mb Origin.dmg. It installed it on my CustoMac just like any other app does; it even showed my PC only titles in my games library as well as my friends list.

You also get a free copy of the puzzle game, Bookworm by PopCap.

Make sure your system meets the minimum system requirements before attempting to install:

Get your copy while you can and take it for a test spin:

Yep, this definitely has lots of promise but so far, it only gives you a TON of Sims expansions and many already available Feral games... Man, when will they release Battlefield 3 or Fifa 13?? :)
