| Fps? As seen as this forum offers 'discussion' aswell as technical help with games I thought I'd ask for a bit of advice. I'm after a new game (mac), something I can just pick up and play whenever I'm bored, not too time consuming, maybe a FPS. I've had a browse around the Apple store gaming section and narrowed it down to these: Doom 3, Quake 4, Cold War and Commando's Battle Pack. Does anyone have any experience with these games and possibly know which might suit my needs best?

| Doom 3 is okay-ish, some of the end of level baddies are badly thought out, and is always very dark. Quake 4 is also okay - with this one you'll need a strong stomach Dont know about Cold War (just heard its poor) or Commando. |

| Call of Duty. Doom3 and Quake4 are very good, graphically, but get boring really quite quickly.

| Any specific version of Call Of Duty? Just downloading the Quake demo to give it a try. Doom sounds similar to Halo (dark, with aliens), which always gives me a headache with those neon beams shooting around everywhere.

| I've never played any FPS-type game, but there are good things being said about a new game from Aspyr called Prey. You might take a look at that. http://insidemacgames.com/previews/view.php?ID=232

| Halo gets very redundant at times, and you're often alone (the AI units die out). COD is more interesting, but shorter. The AI units are necessary to your success, but they won't be able to do much without you. Of course, the multiplayer is always new. There's demos of COD and Halo, and other games.
