As in its dozens of first-person shooter ancestors, id Software and Activision's Quake 3: Arena transports players into a violent, virtual world filled with deadly weapons, impressive power-ups, and intense combat. Players compete on 26 maps in either death match (free-for-all or team play), with goals to rack up as many kills as possible; or capture the flag, a team-oriented game with scoring based on the number of enemy flag captures. Though presenting the best death-match experience around, Quake 3 's two game types lack the variation and originality of a similar game, Epic's Unreal Tournament . Although you'll need the latest video card and computer hardware, it's impossible to dispute the sheer beauty of Quake 3 's 3-D engine. The 26 maps are filled with exquisite architecture and impressive special effects; further, Quake 3 provides dozens of highly detailed player models to choose from. If you've played other id Software first-person shooters, the weapons should all look familiar: mac Less
Prey is a first-person shooter in which players take on the role of a character who must fight against multiple alien races. \n

Quake III just doesn't meet the hype!
To id's credit, the lackluster gameplay is held afloat by the prettiest First Person Shooter graphics engine in the history of gaming. Every effect in the book from volumetric lighting to curved surfaces combine to allow the map designers great freedom to... Read full review »

Pros Game mechanics
Cons Multiplayer, weapons, short single player game
Recommended it? No

Wow... took a while for Prey to appear on ePinions! Oh well, it's been a while since I played the game, but my thoughts about it haven't changed.

Prey's story isn't that spectacular, actually. You play as Tommy, who is a Cherokee in decent and works as a mechanic. He lives in a... Read full review »

Prey: a 'chore' of a video game

Pros Looks okay, creative ideas, kills time, maybe cheap now it's been out for a while
Cons Boring-mediocre game, very very easy, nothing very unique or original about it
Recommended it? No

So, I read the last guy's review. He/ she is pretty spot on with it, so I'll just supply my views and issues with this game. I'm not gonna get technical because this is on PC, and it a lot depends on what you you're working with. So here goes:

You play Tommy, a stereotypical... Read full review »
