Quake IV

I ordered Quake 4 about.. four days ago, and it arrived yesterday. I of course took this opportunity to beat the game in 7 and a half hours. While it did rock, I just wish it were longer than it was… though I was actually quite relieved when it was over, just because I could have my life back. ;)

Anyway, most games games in which you fight aliens or monsters (e.g. Doom III, Half-Life 2, Diablo II, all the other games in those series) usually freak me out. I mean, I can have nightmares for a week just from playing a part of Half-Life 2 that involves Barnicles and Head-Crabs. While that doesn’t happen so much with Doom or Diablo, they still freak me out. I don’t know what it is about Quake 4, but it just doesn’t bother me at all. Killing the Strogg hordes in the game is just.. a refreshing change from fighting other soldiers. (Oop! I just thought of something else that freaks me out. The Halo Series’ “Flood.” Thinking of ‘em just make me shudder.)

Anyway, the game rocks, the storyline rocks, and the engine rocks. I admit, I like Unreal Tournament 2004 more for killing people online, but Quake 4 will always have a special place in my heart. (Kind of like Team Fortress Classic.)
