I really like Quake and Unreal, timesplitters, Halo, pretty much all of the big names. I'm really looking forward to Quake 4. Quake and Unreal both would be my favorite, as long as there not on the consoles. I also always wanted to play Painkiller.

Even if Quake 4 is slowed down a little than the others it is still gonna be great due to the fact of vehicles and crap like that.

Oh and you can't forget the fact that the graphics will be upgraded..the older game's graphics wasn't that bad...just limited at times.

What's the name of that Counter Strike-like game coming packaged with Q4? Is it Quake: Battlegrounds or something like that?
Very interesting stuff there. You can throw up artillery guns anywhere and everywhere and they include driveable vehicles.

For anyone whose interested in great deals, GameStop offers this little card for fourteen dollars that gives you ten percent off of every used item you buy (DVDs, Videogames, VG Peripherials) and they give you a years subscriptiong to Game Informer. The GI sub alone is worth the price. The ten percent off barely covers the Sales Tax, but it's cool. I onced pissed the clerk off by giving using my card to buy a three dollar game (MGS2: Sons of Liberty, for those interested). I hated that guy.
