Macgamestore.com today announced the release of Santa’s Super Friends for Mac, a new title created by Toybox Games challenging players to find out who Mr. Stink is and why he would steal all the toys before Christmas. “As you make your way from Candy Cane Cove to Santa’s Workshop, you’ll meet some Super Friends along the way like Gingerbread Jr. and Edmund the Elf. They’ll give you information about Mr. Stink to help you get the toys back!” The game is priced at $20, and requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

The game includes 60 progressively harder levels with three skill levels to choose from. Players can collect Christmas Tree ornaments throughout gameplay. Fast-paced levels accompany Christmas music to round out the new holiday title.

Available only as a digital download, the game earned five stars for overall experience, gameplay, graphics, and sound from Macgamestore.com.

Apple posted a new ‘Get a Mac’ TV spot on its website depicting animated characters singing ‘Santa Claus is Coming to Town.’ Animated versions of ‘Mac’ Justing Long and ‘PC’ John Hodgman accompany Santa Claus as they proceed to sing the classic Christmas tune.

Apple last Friday unveiled another ‘Get a Mac’ ad titled ‘Now What.’ That spot features Hodgman as he reveals a new book titled ‘I want to buy a computer, now what?” Long seems surprised about the prospect that purchasing computers is filled with questions and choices, as ‘PC’ suggests. Following the introduction of his first book ‘PC’ produces a second companion book titled ‘I just bought a computer, now what?’
