Worthplaying: Quake Arena Arcade (XBLA)

Quake is one of the most iconic shooters there ever was. Like id's Doom, it quickly became a staple of the shooter market. It featured a lot of mechanics that would later become mainstays of the first-person shooter genre. Quake III Arena was one of the first FPSes to decide that maybe all of this "story" stuff was a bunch of hooey and focused itself on player-versus-player combat. Quake III Arena was also notable for being one of the first truly successful PC-to-console ports, with the Dreamcast version of Quake III Arena still popular enough that people still play it to this day.

I have to admit, even though Quake Live is out there for free, I'm also looking pretty forward to this.

Just buy GOTY edition for Fallout 3 and TES4.
The horse armor isn't worth it.

I would just wait for Fallout NV, goty( I don't know if NV got and goty award) or w/e edition come out.

saladthieves4591d ago

That's usually the smart thing to do. Wait for a GOTY edition with all DLC to come out, then buy the pack.

The problem some people have however, is the waiting game.

lol That pic, I remember when that horse armor DLC came out in 2006 good times lol horse armor FTW! = )

What other Fallout:NV packs are worth it besides Old World Blues?

I didn't see any other DLC packs get that much praise.

GoGamingGiant: Quake Arena Arcade Review

Excerpt from article...

"Playing and reviewing remade games is a precious process. On a base level, the way we view this game should be no different than how we view Quake 3 Arena. However, the goal of a reviewer is to determine if it is valuable for consumers to purchase the game."

I was shocked to see this on xbox live tbh, it very nonchalantly came out of nowhere with no fanfair whatsoever, like the review said though, why bother when a superior and free version is already available on the pc, sad really for such a classic.

Murgatroyd74809d ago

Never was a fan of these games. Even back when they were new, they never provided me with much fun, and they feel especially dated now that we have such superior alternatives.

Here's more:
