Quake III: Arena Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)To say that Quake 3 lives up to the hype is an understatement. I'll admit that, with the exception of the incredible graphics, I was a bit underwhelmed by the downloadable demo.
The final game, however, isfantastic. The bots are great fun - they play with a variety of differentstyles and "personalities" that make them very life-like. Asmentioned above, the graphics are mind-blowing. Q3 is the first andpresently the only 3D game that I'm aware of that uses curved surfaces, andthey vastly improve the visual appeal of the various environments. Thelevels are a bit monotonous from a "decorative" point of view,but for actual playability they offer a great deal of variety and are veryfast-paced. The jump pads increase the flexibility of the maps to a greatextent, allowing players toquickly move vertically.
While the Quakeseries has been traditionally enjoyed most by the "hard-core"gamers, id software did a good job of providing a few introductory levelsin Quake 3 to let the newbies practice their skills a little bit beforebeing thrown into the fire. And Quake is by far the reigning king ofInternet play - according to id's statistics, 500-1700 people worldwidejoin Q3 Internet games every 5 minutes.
Before purchasing, pay closeattention to the system requirements. Most mid- to high-end computerspurchased in the last 18 months will run Q3 just fine, but some willrequire upgraded video cards (cards based on NVidia's TNT/GeForce or 3DFX'sVoodoo technology are best).
Happy Fragging!

Prey Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Each year, I wait for something to come out to blow me away. FEAR was the last one that I actually could not get enough of. Now PREY appears, and WHOA, what a ride. Fantastic visuals (I mean FANTASTIC). Great dynamics in control of the characters, cool weapons, the anti gravity stuff and portals are mentioned quite a bit by most who comment on this game, but they are just part of the whole thing.

The voice acting is almost uniformly great (with the exception of Jen sometimes), and the story is mostly original, save the overall plot, which we've seen a zillion times before. But the characters are new to the genre, (nope, no super human marines, or master gunfighters) and treats the traditions of the cherokee with respect and dignity.

There are some moments where it feels like some other games, an occasional dopey boss battle, and too many elevators, but wow, the overall pace, artwork, character control, and AWESOME MUSIC makes it the most movie like video game I've EVER played. Yes, even more than Half Life 2. The health regeneration is a little annoying at first, but then you learn to appreciate it somewhat, as it is less disruptive than having to go back 2 or 3 saves and start over.

One more comment on the music. I was amazed at how cinematic it was. I felt like I was in a live action movie sometimes. Just awesome.

My library of PC games numbers over 100, and I've played them all. But this one is in a class by itself. Yes, its somewhat short, but the work that went into it was intense.

I would ignore most of the adolescents that talk about the "doom 3 engine" (heck most don't even know what it means, they are just repeating some noise they saw on some forum somewhere).What theinside technology is has no bearing on the implementation of the game, story, visuals, music and scenarios. This thing is just plain great if you like the alien/hero shooters.

I can't wait for more. Kudos to the developers and artists that built this thing. What a piece of work
