Blood, guts, 'n gears galore!

User Rating: 9.5 | Quake 4 PC
When I played Quake 4, my computer could barely run it but I still managed to have the satisfaction of needling thousands of hapless Strogg into pulp. Unlike most FPS-s, there is something about Quake 4 that makes it different. The graphics are creatively used and when thrown at you together, they set up the mood and mystique the plot is all about. The fear in this game could have been amplified but the grittiness of this game is in no way lacking. However, I did think Kane could have been more unique as a Strogg. As one of his mates says, he does look like sh**. Plot spoilers aside, the AI is mostly not too stupid and the cheats encourage you to...experiment.

A great game in itself as it won't scare you away with too much blood but has gorgeous graphics and concept art. The two words you can't resist saying when you play this game are "oh snap".
