It's not very often I actually get to sit down and play games for fun. What with testing hardware and organising content, the most I can usually grab is a few extra minutes when I'm benchmarking F.E.A.R. However, the other night I decided to sit down and give myself a break, have some fun. And, not having played it yet, I downloaded the demo of Quake 4 and fired it up.

Playing through the single-player was cool - it was linear, but far more interesting than Doom 3. It felt a lot more like Quake 2, and the additional people to interact with were a big bonus. However, I was in for a big shock when I fired up multiplayer.

I had an inkling something was up when I saw the loading screen. Those icons across the bottom... are very Quake 3, I thought. And wham! I'm in the game, I'm on jump pads, speed ramps, I've got a railgun in my hand and by God, I'm playing Quake 3 in the new Doom engine.
