MacHeist I, held in December of 2006, was epic. I remember signing up and getting the e-mail with instructions on my first heist. I only had a vague idea of what the prizes were (something about candy, a hooker, or free software), but I was excited none the less. I had been briefed for a heist, and that was enough to make me feel like a badass. Of course, I got frustrated after I couldn’t solve the first one in less than 5 minutes and ended up abandoning my attempt at fulfilling the role of female counterpart to James Bond.

MacHeist II has begun, and once again, there has been no short on hype.

Hosted by the folks at MacHeist.com, the six-week MacHeist event is a mission-based contest in which players are awarded with free Mac shareware and a $2 discount on MacHeist.com’s Mac software bundle for completing each ‘heist’ . While the contents and price of this year’s bundle are yet to be announced, the previous one sold for $49 (not including discounts earned by completing heists). Regardless of participation in the event, the software bundle is available to anyone at its set price.

So if you’re the Ethan Hunt type who’s savvy to free Mac software, check out MacHeist.com, get briefed, and earn your loot.
