Over the years, I've come to trust IGN's rating as we are usually on the same page and agree with the ratings. IGN gave Quake 4 an 8.2 so I will be skipping it. I'd like to hear what others say about it though.

if i were to get one of the 2, i'd get f.e.a.r.
alot of websites are comparing quake 4 to doom 3....didnt really innovate much, just the same old game just rehashed.
i think pc gamer did also....

You skip a game that's rated 8.2? I would question a game rated 7 or below.

I will probably get F.E.A.R. I have never really played Quake.

Well I got FEAR and WOW! It's a great game. I'm a big FPS fan and FEAR is one of the best I have played. The AI is incredible, this is the AI I was expecting with Half Life 2.

A+ from me. I'll try out Quake 4.

I am going to wait for more reviews to come in. If either are filled with bugs then I will wait for the patches. No sense in buying a game that has all sorts of problems. Both look like great games though!

There's a Q4 review here....

http://www.itreviews.co.uk/games/g204.htm

Most of the reviews coming out seem to agree that it's not great, rather too much like Doom 3, even got the torch etc

Didnt play Q4 yet but FEAR was great despite the somehwat short length. The AI, the weapons (especially the proximity mines) and the story were all top notch imo.
