Quake Live

I almost really enjoyed Fallen Empire Legions, but not quite enough to play it for a length of time. It was a good Tribes knockoff, and it was fun enough, but it lacked whatever Tribes had back in the day. So, I’ve given the concept of browser-based “instant” games a pass. Honestly none of them are that terribly “instant”, you always have to wait forever for the game to download before you can play, that’s just the nature of the technology. But at least it makes the developers pay attention to file size and limit what the game contains so that it gets to the user in a reasonable download time. (I’ve been waiting about 30 minutes so far.) 

I am definitely behind the idea of quick games that don’t cost $60. That’s why Quake Live is exciting.

OK, just played for about a half hour. It’s exactly like Quake. Exactly. It’s Quake. Quake was fun. I guess it still is fun. I’ll probably play a little more.
