Quake Live Beta
Quake Live, the free-to-play, web-based shooter, developed by FPS legends id, has been released into Open Beta. Now, I’d hit you with some impressions, but I’m currently 11017 deep in the queue. I guess that means there’s some sort of a market for this sort of thing. I’ve previously played Battlefield Heroes, EA’s own beta attempt at the web-based shooter and was left unimpressed. However, id certainly has the chops to pull it off. id’s prolific resume include FPS-defining franchises like Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake.
Speaking of FPS’s, Team Fortress 2, the long-awaited sequel to the original Quake and Half-Life mod is only $10 on Steam this week. If you haven’t played this game, pick it up it’s well worth it, you’d be hard pressed to find a better multiplayer FPS on PC. And, of course, after you fire it up, hop on the dwot TF2 Server and enjoy some quality FPS action.
